Financial Times
The essential guide for anyone who wants to create more freedom, opportunity, and security . . . Packed with practical tips and strategies – illustrated by compelling stories of real-life hustles – that will inspire readers to start their side hustles now.
Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project
There's a great temptation to assume that side hustles are just for "special people," like artists, dreamers, and 17-year-old computer geniuses. But Guillebeau deftly proves everyone can (and should) have a side hustle.
