Publisher's 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.

A grand and inspiring call to embrace your unique creative purpose and join the tribe of the Blessed Weird!

Some books show up, just at the time you need them most, and this is such a book.

Blessed Are The Weird begins with a chapter-by-chapter exploration of the meaning behind Jacob Nordby's wildly popular poem from which his book draws its title.

"Blessed are the weird people:

poets, misfits, writers

mystics, painters, troubadours

for they teach us to see the world through different eyes."

He offers an expanded version of the poem called Beatitudes for the Weird, which opens even more windows through which we can catch the grand vision he has for the vital role that 'weird' creatives of all stripes play in nourishing the deep longings of the human heart.

For Nordby, creative 'misfits' play the alchemist's role, offering a transformative vision through which the world can see the magic at work in the seemingly mundane details of life.

"We wait, starving for moments of high magic to inspire us,

but life is a banquet of common enchantment

waiting for our alchemists' eyes to notice."

Weird People venture into unmapped places, beyond the boundaries of what is safe. In so doing, throughout the ages, these brave adventurers have changed the world, each in their own unique way.

"We have this radical desire to follow our inner longings no matter where they lead us--and we have come to understand that they are going to nearly always take us most people aren't comfortable in going. In fact, this is why Weird People have always been the ones who move humanity forward.
