Press Release: Words have synonyms. Multiple different options that all have the same, or a similar, meaning. No matter which synonym is chosen, the speaker will always conclude with the point they were aiming for. They will always arrive in the same place. Life can be viewed in a similar aspect. No matter which path a person takes in life, they will always arrive in the same place: death. A morbid viewpoint, however it’s the living part that counts. How many ways can a person live? Find happiness? Achieve their dreams? Nobody knows, it would be hard to find two people who’ve lived identical lives. Some lives may follow a similar path- ‘the expected path’: school, university, job, marriage, mortgage, kids, retirement; however even similar paths have variations.
Johnathon Weaver’s new book ‘The Anti Blueprint Project’ explores people who’ve lived lives that don’t follow the ‘expected path’, who’s lives are out of the ordinary, who don’t live conventionally.

Stories that matter. For kids to be inspired to do their own thing, to reassure them that life doesn’t have to follow the path that their teachers or parents expect them to. For adults who need to be reminded that success is what they make it, success isn’t measured against others. The same for happiness.
The book project’s kickstarter page is open until October 29.
