As a part of TLC Book Tours I had the opportunity to read and review Tim Daniel’s new book, The Pursuit of Nobility.  As the author describes his book, it’s about liberation.  It’s about a personal journey to free yourself from the massive amount of people who are simply sustaining society, and join those who are pushing society forward.  Tim describes the Nobility as problem solvers, creators, and seekers of a greater challenge.  Here at Graduated And Clueless I write blog posts about personal development, growth, and topics beyond the simple job search.  The Pursuit of Nobility closely aligns with my mission as it addresses a higher calling in life, beyond maintenance, above the crowd, and into a whole new world where the Nobles cause real world change.
