Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs Chris Guillebeau's most beloved works of purpose and practical entrepreneurship. The Happiness of Pursuit, a New York Times bestseller, explores how ordinary people transform their lives by committing to a meaningful quest. Side Hustle turns that inspiration into action with a step-by-step plan for building supplemental income without leaving your day job. Together, these titles deliver the mindset and mechanics for a more purposeful, financially resilient life, making this collection a smart pick for anyone craving direction, motivation, and a concrete plan for change.

About the Books
The Happiness of Pursuit draws on interviews with thousands of "questers" from around the world to uncover what drives people to pursue ambitious, life-defining goals. Chris Guillebeau examines quests ranging from visiting every country on Earth to running a marathon on every continent, distilling the shared traits of commitment, incremental progress, and documentation that make big goals achievable. The book challenges readers to identify their own quest and offers a practical framework for pursuing it without abandoning everyday responsibilities. Side Hustle shifts focus to financial independence, presenting a disciplined 27-day framework for brainstorming, validating, and launching a side business. Guillebeau, drawing on his own entrepreneurial experience and years hosting the Side Hustle School podcast, walks readers through choosing a viable idea, testing demand cheaply, budgeting, and scaling sustainably, all while keeping a steady day job intact. Both books share Guillebeau's signature voice: direct, encouraging, and rooted in real stories rather than abstract theory. Read together, they move naturally from the internal question of what your life should mean to the external question of how to build the freedom to support that meaning. This paperback set is compact and easy to read back-to-back, making it a practical companion for a career pivot, personal challenge, or simply more financial breathing room.
