507 Guy Kawasaki: Author of Think Remarkable

Remarkability Defined

Guy Kawasaki defines being remarkable as making a difference in the world, regardless of wealth or fame. He emphasizes that remarkable individuals are those who impact lives positively, whether by leading a classroom or changing a microenvironment. Kawasaki shares that his book, "Think Remarkable," is a collection of insights from over 220 interviews with such individuals, including Jane Goodall and Stacey Abrams 1.

This book is about other remarkable people. I am the catalyst. I'm not the main event.

--- Guy Kawasaki

Kara Goldin appreciates the book's ability to motivate readers to seek out and learn from remarkable people, highlighting the power of storytelling in inspiring change 2.

   

Paths to Impact

Becoming remarkable is about making a difference rather than seeking fame or wealth, according to Guy Kawasaki. He argues that the true measure of remarkability is the impact one has on society, not self-proclaimed greatness 3.

The key point is this book explains how to make a difference. And if you make a difference, society will have no choice but to consider you remarkable.

--- Guy Kawasaki

Kara Goldin adds that remarkable people often start with a personal need or passion, not a desire for recognition. She cites her own journey with Hint Water as an example of creating something out of necessity, not market research 4.
