Henry David Thoreau said it. And you’ve heard the quote dozens of times, no doubt. But I believe firmly that even if there is some truth to the thought that most people “live lives of quiet desperation,” many more are searching for adventure and knowledge.
People want knowledge. They want challenges. They want to grow. They want to learn. And they want to do all this in a way that’s invigorating and energizing.
That’s why “The Dangerous Book for Boys” is a publishing phenomenon. The best-seller contains all the essentials that British brothers Conn and Hal Iggulden think a boy should know.
This thoroughly entertaining book includes “how to” directions that would make an overprotective mom blanch and a grade school administrator keel over. Instructions are included on how to make a bow and arrow, construct a battery, hunt and cook a rabbit, tan a hide, create a water bomb, and make a tripwire.
While the lessons on potentially treacherous activity are clearly the hook here, there is plenty of less threatening information in the book, such as how to tie naval knots, historical information on famous battles, poems every boy should know, and a list of important Latin phrases.
One thing the book doesn’t have is instructions on eating fire, which you can find on Free IQ. But truthfully, that’s a little bit of an anomaly on our site. So, if your idea of making yourself dangerous is learning a skill, strategy, or technique that can improve your ability to do your job, grow your business, or pursue a favorite hobby, that’s likely waiting for you on Free IQ.
