How to Become the Most Interesting Man (or Woman) in the World
You have seen the commercials.
There is a man who can do everything better than you.
He can jump, swim, think, crack jokes, tell stories, all while drinking his favorite beverage and playing chess and who knows what else.
Fictional, obviously. But there are some real people who are even more interesting.
For some reason, we cannot stop thinking about these people. We cannot stop talking about them. They are so fascinating that we wonder if we can ever be like them.
I have known a handful of these people. Every time I talk to them, I just think, “This person is so… cool!” Or “this person is so... fascinating!”
I have looked at their lives and determined that there is a formula to become the most interesting man (or woman) alive.
Here is the formula.
1. Dig deep.
Follow your bliss.
— Joseph Campbell
A man once told his son that there was water in a field behind their home. He told his son that he would reward him handsomely if the young man could find the place to dig where a well could be drawn.
