I Don’t Want to Grow Up: Life, Liberty, and Happiness Without a Career

Nature Book Series, Book 3

De: Scott Stillman

Narrado por: Stacy Carolan

America’s best-selling author of Wilderness, The Gateway to the Soul, and Nature’s Silent Message offers a glimpse into his childhood of skateboarding, high school brawls, and early trials and tribulations with money and success. The scenery may be different, but the writing style is business as usual, with life lessons cruising a mile a minute in this insightful story about what it means to never grow up.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”

We’ve been asked this question over and over, practically since the day we could walk. Many of us have absolutely no idea. We never have and we never will. This bothers us terribly and on a profound level. We feel useless, disconnected, scattered, unfocused. If we could just make up our minds—about something, about anything!

What if you didn’t have to grow up?

Society would like us to believe that to be happy, we need successful careers. But let’s face it—we’re not all meant to be doctors, lawyers, scientists, and accountants.

Some are meant to be dreamers.

The people on the fringes of society who don’t necessarily subscribe to the modern version of the American dream. Artists, adrenaline junkies, nomads, life seekers. Those who doubt conventional wisdom, question authority, and continually search for newer, better ways to live.

The world needs freaks—now more than ever.

Never before has there been such an opportunity to live the life of your dreams. Never before have there been so many ways to earn an income. Never before have there been so many ways to have fun!

What do you want to be...when you don't grow up?

Absolutely mind blowing

Absolutely love this book got recommended this book on tik tok and finished it in one whole day 😭 it really makes you question a lot of things and you gain a different perspective of things 🫶

What kind of cog do you want to be?!

"I Don't Want to Grow Up" is a delightful and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of adulthood, wrapped in a charming narrative that beckons readers to embrace their inner child. Through a blend of vivid storytelling and profound insights, Stillman invites us to reconsider our perceptions of maturity and the importance of maintaining a youthful spirit in a world that often demands conformity. If you're ready to make a change and need some motivation this is the book for you.

You’re always growing

A point that stood out to me is that there is not a certain way to grow up, or how to enjoy the beauties of life. Become who you want to be and don’t wait thinking it will happen. Make it happen.

Life

Best book I’ve read in a long time and really sets a good example of how to live a full life without conforming

In Love
