You want to leave a mark, not a blemish. Be a hero, not a spectator. You want to be interesting. (Who doesnt?) But sometimes it takes a nudge, a wake-up call, an intervention!and a little help. This is where Jessica Hagy comes in. A writer and illustrator of great economy, charm, and insight, shes created How to Be Interesting, a uniquely inspirational how-to that combines fresh and pithy lessons with deceptively simple diagrams and charts.
Ms. Hagy started on Forbes.com, where shes a weekly blogger, by creating a How to Be Interesting post that went viral, attracting 1.4 million viewers so far, with tens of thousands of them liking, linking, and tweeting the article. Now shes deeply explored the ideas that resonated with so many readers to create this small and quirky book with a large and universal message. Its a book about exploring: Talk to strangers. About taking chances: Expose yourself to ridicule, to risk, to wild ideas. About being childlike, not childish: Remember how amazing the world was before you learned to be cynical. About being open: Never take in the welcome mat. About breaking routine: Take daily vaca- tions . . . if only for a few minutes. About taking ownership: Whatever youre doing, enjoy it, embrace it, master it as well as you can. And about growing a pair: If youre not courageous, youre going to be hanging around the water cooler, talking about the guy that actually is.

- To limit your regrets.
- So you can respect yourself.
- In order to banish boredom.
- So that you can leave a mark, not a blemish.
- And most of all, because you can.
Explore ideas, places, and opinions. The inside of the echo chamber is where all the boring people hang out.
No one has seen exactly what you have. No one has been to all the places youve visited. No one feels just as you do.
Find out why.
How far to go? Roll the dice. Seven blocks it is. Take the train? Roll evens and buy the ticket. Two dice can take you practically anywhere and save you lots of time on unimportant decisions. Keep them in your pocket. Theyll help keep things interesting.
Without a map, you can find uncharted places. Be unreachable; you can talk to people on your journey. Miss a few updates from others, and discover yourself instead. Your gadgets are tethering you to a world you know very well.
Turn them off to explore new places.
Do the opposite of expected. Defend the guilty. Question the pure. See which facts are opinions and which opinions are facts. There are many sides to every story, and they all need to be told.
If only for a few minutes. Stroll around in the early hours, when the sunlight is a sliver. Walk to a different mailbox. Read magazines in a Laundromat. Shower in the dark. Sip hot chocolate in an alley. Reclaim your spare moments.
Open your mouth and say nothing, just observe. How does the early morning dew taste? What is the flavor profile of your commute? Does someone elses detergent remind you of childhood? Why do airports all smell the same?
Wake up before the alarm. Steal moments between stoplights to compose poems. Sneak off to a moonlit spot when youd otherwise be watching something on a glowing screen. Work at night and play in the daytime. Carve out hours for the dreams youve been putting off.
Theres always time to explore. You get to decide when it is.
A faded sign. An eye patch. A broken lock. A photo torn in half. A flat tire. A small scar. A spilled cup. A pause when her lovers name is mentioned. Each detail tells a story. And every room holds a thousand details. Look for them.
Find the interesting stories.
Parents hate it when kids do it.
Why? Because.
Why? Because.
Why? Because.
And on and on. But try it. Youll be surprised at how quickly a simple Why? can turn into a fascinating Because
