How to Be Interesting (In 10 Simple Steps)
By (author) Jessica Hagy
Today you can learn how to do just about anything by watching a YouTube video. But what if you just want to find out how to be interesting? No YouTube for that! Instead, try this book.
The author, Jessica Hagy, presents the case that to be interesting you need to get out of your comfort zone. She explores ten simple steps to achieve that goal. Here are a few examples of those steps: Embrace Your Weirdness, Hop Off the Bandwagon, and Grow a Pair!
As you can tell from these chapter titles, the book is written with humor and quirkiness. That quirkiness will keep you interested and that humor will make you laugh to yourself (or maybe out loud). “How To Be Interesting” is filled with charts and graphs and drawings presented in a fun, obtuse, yet educational manner.
I’m not sure who Author Nagy had in mind when writing this book, but I have a few ideas. Anyone who is bored with their life can read this book, follow its lead, and begin to have more adventure. Introverts, who want to venture a little further out into our extroverted world, can read this and strengthen their confidence. If you just ended a relationship, this book can get you back on track for your new life. Finally, read this book if you just want to see a different, and funny, perspective on life.
Therapists can certainly use this book for ideas of new approaches with their clients. I know I will!

This really resonates with me. As someone who’s also introverted and passionate about writing, I totally get the anxiety around book launches. I'm actually about to publish my first book soon through Amazon KDP publishing in UAE, got very helpful from a team that handles everything from formatting and illustrations to printing and uploading. Honestly, having professionals manage the technical side really helped me focus on writing and preparing for the launch.
This review provides insightful information about a novel and useful manual. It's intriguing to observe how the content appeals to creatives; for instance, book authors in Dubai could find motivation in its captivating advice on how to develop characters and hold readers' attention throughout their narrative.
The book sounds good. Being an extreme introvert, it is often difficult for me to make friends because people generally don't find me interesting. I am also a bookworm reader and an aspiring writer. Soon I am going to publish my first book with the help of one of the best book printing companies, and I will have to attend my book launches. So I will definitely read this book to lower my anxiety of going among people.
