Jobs are the most mundane part of every other person's life. The compulsion in individuals to score a good job, earn well and pay for all the responsibilities that come with an adult life are seemingly ingrafted. Guillebeau, hardly thirty, offers an insightful read to all those who crib about their work every passing moment and yet don't see a way out of it. To work for oneself, is to work most happily is the author's belief. The book lists ways in which one can initiate a start-up, all with an investment of just $100, much to the surprise of the readers. An ardent traveller, Chris Guillebeau has roamed around more than a hundred countries, and has put up examples of at least fifty people who have been successful in setting up their businesses when they did not have big funds to spare. The author encourages people to let go of employment opportunities that do not interest them and in stead choose to live a life on their own terms, without compromising on money. For every adult who wishes to seek from life something more than a daily nine-to-five job and yet does not know where his passion lies, 'The $100 Startup' is not just an inspiring but also a helpful guide to making a life of joy and satisfaction.
