Contents:
Introduction: pins or screws? -- Before the cards are flipped -- Childlike faith -- Don't forget your earmuffs -- Keep on dreaming -- I might be crazy -- The battle line -- Pick it up -- The first drop of rain -- Let the games begin -- When the dam breaks -- Goals are dumb -- Still get out of the boat -- Scar tissue -- How the turtle got there -- You gotta have "it" -- Epilogue: the theory of everything.
Summary: Behind every triumph, every expression of his gifts, Acho has had to ignore what everyone around him called “logic”: the astronomical odds against making it, the risks of continuing to dream bigger or differently. Instead of playing it safe, at every turn Acho has thrown conventional wisdom―logic―out the window. Now, in this revelatory book, he’s empowering us all to do the same. Whether it’s creating the next groundbreaking startup, fighting for change as an activist, or committing to a personal passion, Illogical is the go-to book for all readers ready to become change-makers. With a step-by-step guide to finding our callings and shifting our mindsets, enlivened by stories from Acho’s life and other illogical pioneers, and the Bible, Acho asks us to replace the limits set for us, and which we set for ourselves, with a world of possibility. Our horizons, he shows us, are endless.
