The Art of Non-Conformity

This was a quick read that I finished in about 4 days (yes, another one that's not on my 2012 list...I keep taking these little unforeseen detours).  It has some pretty interesting ideas.  The single most interesting idea I read in the book was a one year self-directed, alternative graduate school experience outline. The book, if you couldn't guess, is about going against the grain and doing what you want to do instead of what society dictates you should be doing.  There are definitely some useful ideas in here to kickstart some creative thinking if you are trying to stop running around that never ending hamster wheel.  If you already know that a desk job and the rat race is not your ideal life, pick this book up for more ideas about how you can move forward and away from that lifestyle.
