Go for Stupid

The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals

By: Steve D. Sims

Narrated by: Steve D. Sims

What would you achieve if you weren’t afraid of being laughed at?

In the age of “gotcha” culture, people are terrified to do anything that might be laughed at. Steve Sims is the exact opposite.

In Go for Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals, Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, and ridiculous goals. From organizing a private dinner in front of Michelangelo's David to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement?

Steve examines famously stupid goals in history, the key habits of successful people, and lessons from his own career to help you let go of your fear and get out of your own way. If you do something amazing, you will be ridiculed until you are revered. Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid”, you open the door to the life you always dreamed about.

great read, very insightful and inspirational

This is a great book with a bunch of examples and stories that illustrate the point to always ask "stupid" questions and don't be afraid to look stupid. I learned it when I was in the university surrounded by people much smarter in mathematics than me, asking stupid questions helped me to graduate with honer diploma .
Highly recommend this book.

Don’t Stand Still!

Another simple book with powerful messages. Thanks Steve for sharing and inspiring me - I will use some if these asap.

A Guide For Adding Value To My Clients

I’ve been wanting to get this book for some time now after following Steve Sims 2 years ago. This is no fluff, old fashioned straight forward impact focused content. My mind is opened.

I bought this seconds after I finished his previous book. SO GLAD I DID.

A perfect follow up to blue fishing. With the wave of technology changing the way we communicate with each other, learning how to connect on a human level is more critical than ever. Steve knocks it out of the park with a deeper dive into solving this problem. Highly recommend! 

Steve seems to have nailed it down

Enjoyed Steve’s latest book on a long ruck. He was the PERFECT virtual hitchhiker for the route!
