Summary

Colin Wright walked away from a bountiful financial opportunity to conduct extreme lifestyle experiments, like letting the readers of his blog vote on which country he should spend the next four months of his life in. This eventually resulted in the writing multiple books, and the development of an independent publishing company, Asymmetrical Press.
