Crazy Successful: Defy Conformity, Create the Extraordinary

‘Read this book if you want to stand out’ – Daniel Priestley

We’ve been sold a lie about success.

You don’t need to be the perfect, single-minded, 5am person.

Our world is too crowded to reward the conventional. Success now means leaning into what's different about you – flawed, messy, 'crazy' bits included – and using it to create something only you can create.

Whether you want to start a business or side hustle, write a book, or build a following with a podcast, Substack or YouTube channel, Crazy Successful shows you how to:

• Uncover your ‘Crazy Advantage’ and stop hiding the parts of you that make you stand out
• Discover the surprising upsides of ADHD, dyslexia, autism and other forms of neurodiversity, anxiety, and even a difficult childhood
• Break the hidden patterns that sabotage your success
• Find your Crazy Idea and create your own ‘Category of One’ that nobody can compete with
• Get over the fear of putting yourself out there – on social media, on stage, and in the press
• AI-proof your work by making it too original and personal to copy

Conformity loses, crazy wins.

‘The bravest, most honest business book I’ve read in years.’ – Joe Gregory
