Misfit: Changemaker with an Edge Andreas Souvaliotis 第1 版

?It all happened in a flash. On a beautiful spring morning in 2007, sitting in my backyard and licking my wounds from a spectacular career derailment, I came up with a big idea?and I found myself contemplating the most daring and unconventional pursuit of my life.?

In this memoir, by turns hilarious, weird and tender, but always engaging, musical prodigy, numbers nerd and weather geek Andreas Souvaliotis takes us with him on his zigzag journey to that moment?and on the subsequent rollercoaster ride that transformed him from a misfit into a changemaker.

A book by someone who has more ideas in a minute than most of us have in a year.

Andreas's message is straightforward and powerful: harness the things that make you different in order to change your world for the better. We're all misfits, with our own particularities. And, in our quest to fit in and live "normal", we too often quash those very things that could make us special.
