Rare Breed: A Guide to Success for the Defiant, Dangerous, and Different

Written by Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger

Narrated by Eileen Stevens

An unconventional business book for the rebels and misfits—the Rare Breeds—who don’t fit the traditional mold, offering an approach that’s anything but business as usual.

There is an unofficial rule for success: you need to change who you are to achieve greatness. But it doesn’t have to be that way. What if you could leverage your so-called vices and shortcomings and make them your super powers?

— Rebellious. Audacious. Obsessed. Hot-Blooded. Weird. Hypnotic. Emotional —

These seven vices are what acclaimed leadership and brand experts Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger identify as keys to becoming a Rare Breed—those standout leaders and achievers—in any career.

Rare Breed is an unorthodox business book for the rebels, outsiders, and provocateurs — anyone with the ambition to lead, create, inspire and provoke change on your own terms by owning all of who you are, not just the pretty parts. But be careful, each virtue has a seductive and dualistic nature that can lead to success or sabotage.

Unique stories. Unconventional advice. Practical tools. Bonnell and Hansberger lay it all out to help fellow Rare Breeds understand, unlock, and direct the potential that’s been slumbering in them to rise above the ordinary, own who they are, and push things forward.

Reviews for Rare Breed

[jeff Young · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Every parent should read and absorb this book. Stepping outside the lines of society is no doubt swimming against the tide, but this is too often the case. This is stifling and destructive and the sooner we can see and stop this from being the norm, the greater we will all will see its value...

[Jakov No · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Dislike self help books (and this one is), especially those claiming that You, yes You, a random reader is special and rare, but as far as those go, this one was fine. Simple but not dumb with some nice examples, but you will find no real dives into offbeat branding strategies here.

One of the best books I’ve read or listened to! ????
