Growing a Farmer

I find this book to be personally very interesting. Not many people have the ability to expose themselves to huge amounts risk and explore the unknown. Kurt ambitiously explores new ideas and passions, through fulfilling his aspirations to his best ability. He leaves his stability behind of owning a restaurant to create something he really has no idea or experience of managing. In my eyes, Kurt is a very admirable individual as he purely lives up to his passions and what makes him happy. Whether it is him pursuing bee keeping or raising grass feed beef, Kurt has a plan and a means of going through with it. Kurt is a person who learns by doing, although he loves to research and gather information, ultimately his success is always built upon learning from mistakes.

In a way I find this books inspiring, as it shows that anyone can really leave a life behind that they don't find meaningful and pursue something that they actually want to do. Kurt is truly inspiring as he makes himself take on the unknown head first and "wings it" while somehow ending up sufficiently successful. He appears scattered and always changes what he wants to do but I think his flexibility in a sense is a gift. So far I have enjoyed reading this book as it has showed me that following your passions, even though at times can be hard, it’s ultimately what can bring the most happiness on an individual basis.
