Summary of Be More Pirate

Be More Pirate is a call to arms for personal and societal transformation led by youth, from the bestselling author Sam Conniff. It is part history, part modern-day activism, and part philosophical exploration. The book chronicles the lives and stories of some of history’s most daring and influential ‘pirates’. It sets out the counter-cultural and rebellious lessons that these individuals exemplify, and invites us to draw inspiration from their stories in order to redefine the way we live, work, and think today. Conniff encourages readers to embrace their inner ‘pirate’; rejecting traditional systems and living and working in a way that challenges the status quo. He presents tales of those who have shaped modern society, and digs beneath the surface to explore the methods of those such as Nelson Mandela, Alan Turing and Steve Jobs. The book seeks to redefine success and presents a blueprint for personal and collective transformation.
