Summary

The world wants its soul back....

This audiobook is for highly sensitive people who have felt out of place in the modern world. It provides a narrative that describes how they fit into a lineage of creatives throughout history, and how their gifts are needed during this precise era of "new renaissance" on Earth.

In this book, author Jacob Nordby offers a bold new definition of success in the modern era. "The only success now is living and creating a work-of-art life: unique, rich with meaning, naked of anything we don't care about, and ruthless about carving out something absolutely real from a world that has gorged itself on fakeness and become critically ill from it. The only failure now is pulling back from that quest because of fear." Expanding upon his short original "Blessed Are the Weird" piece that became a viral phenomenon, he traces the roots of soulful artistry and creation to ancient times and back again to reveal the insistent, eternal quest of our true natures that demands something real - as if our very existence depends upon it.

This book is a call to creatives (and those who want to be) with the clear message that it has never been more critical to heed the call of soul than it is during this exciting, dangerous new renaissance epoch on Planet Earth. Heartfelt and sometimes humorous, it lights a signal fire for all who feel out of place in the modern world and invites them to claim their heritage as members in an ancient lineage - those tenders of soul and beauty who have always kept the flame alive for humanity.

This is a book for everyone who wants to lead a deep, true, and passionate life and leave the world better for having passed this way.

Blessed Are the Weird. Your time has come to define the new normal.

Everyone should read this.

I'm grateful that this book is written. Somehow, I feel like it gave me a voice. This book needs to be read and reread; it needs to be taught in schools, so that as few people as possible are made to believe that they are automata, put on this earth for the sole purpose of being efficient, rather than creative. Thank you, Jacob Nordby.

WOW

I came across this author by ‘accident’ ( or maybe not). Reading this book was like coming home to my gloriously weird family. I absolutely loved it and having felt kind of elated whilst listening to it, felt strangely sad when it came to the end. I loved it all - the content, the fact that Jacob narrated it ( brilliantly) himself, the lot. Thank you Jacob for being, and thank you universe for bringing me to you. I’m looking forward to listening to your other books that I have lined up on Audible. Bless you ❤️🙏😊
