Be More Pirate

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A 21st-century survival guide for your inner rebel, based on the innovations of 18th-century pirates.

In Be More Pirate, Sam Conniff Allende reveals the game-changing innovations of 18th-century pirates and identifies five key takeaways that will help you spark change and achieve success today:

  • REBEL - Draw strength by standing up to the status quo
  • REWRITE - Bend, break, but ultimately rewrite the rules
  • REORGANISE - Collaborate to achieve scale, not growth
  • REDISTRIBUTE - Fight for fairness and make enemies of exploitation
  • RETELL - Weaponise stories and tell the hell out of them

Using these pioneering strategies as examples, and looking to modern-day pirates like Banksy, Elon Musk, and Malala for inspiration, Conniff Allende shows you how to make positive change and build a manifesto around your ideas and principlesβ€”a pirate code 2.0 that's fit for the uncertain 21st century.

Whatever your ideas or the scale of your ambitions, Be More Pirate will revolutionise the way you think, work, and live.
