About this ebook

The acclaimed author of Ignore Everybody is back with more irreverent wisdom, wit, and original cartoons.

"It has never been easier to make a great living doing what you love. But to make it happen, first you need an EVIL PLAN. Everybody needs to get away from lousy bosses, from boring, dead-end jobs that they hate, and ACTUALLY start doing something they love, something that matters. Life is short." -Hugh MacLeod

Freud once said that in order to be truly happy people need two things: the capacity to work and the capacity to love. Evil Plans is about being able to do both at the same time. The sometimes unfortunate side effect is that others will hate you for it. MacLeod's insights are brash, wise, and often funny.

Evil Plans is a great book. It's a book about an idea and about a state of mind that allows you to chase your dreams. Your Evil Plan according to Hugh Macleod is your ability to do something that you love and to have fun while making a living. Hugh is living proof that it's possible to do something that you love and make a living at it. He is a former ad man, who slaved away at a job that he didn't like. He was starting to get burned out at a reletively young age when inspiration hit him. He loved drawing cartoons and he ended up finding a way to turn that passion into a career. He now runs Gaping Void Gallery where he sells his art - some cartoons, doodles and high end art work, all of which was started with a love for drawing cartoons. He's making money doing what he loves. The book Evil Plans is a collection of his cartoons and his inspiration and encouragement to take the same leap of faith that he did to 'Have fun on the road to world domination.' Evil Plans isn't just about quitting your job and starting a business though. For some people, its doing a better job in your current role or taking on a new project that your excited about...Or it might just be finding a hobby or passion that might one day pay you rewards...and hopefully earn you money. Either way the message is inspiring and the book is a breeze to read. When I pre-ordered my copy of the book, Hugh sent an autographed drawing along with the book. I keep it at my desk as I plot my Evil Plan.
