Last week I finished Chris Hardwick’s (@nerdist) new self-help book “The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (In Real Life)”. I’ve talked about my love for the guys over at Nerdist Industries (Chris in particular) before, but I never really saw myself really reading a self-help book. In the end, it turned out to be a really good idea.

There’s something about Hardwick’s writing that really resonates with me. It’s personal and engaging, and as a nerd - very relatable. I found myself constantly agreeing with his observations about Nerd life and culture. I think this novel would have really helped motivate me the last couple months while everything in my life was changing. Losing a job, finishing school, and being thrown into the world as a nerd that doesn’t know what to do is very intimidating. Fortunately everything has worked out since then, but it’s definitely something that I can read and agree with.

I recommend that nerds everywhere read this book. It doesn’t matter if you classify yourself as a nerd or a geek, this book will most likely be something that you can relate to. There are absolutely some sections that resonated with me and I’ve already started taking them into effect.
