Eccentricity: Society'S Secret Sauce: The Value Of Being Eccentric

I encountered countless accomplished yet eccentric people, and decided to write this book because I am passionate about the value of eccentric people and after discovering a paucity of books on this fascinating and timely subject. THE VALUE OF BEING ECCENTRIC is an intriguing quasi-oxymoron. I use 12 historical figures including eccentrics like Lord Byron, Benjamin Franklin, Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and John Lennon, to name but a few of the eccentric people examined to prove via the facts of their lives that each one possessed the 7 essential attributes of eccentricity. The eccentricities of the people examined are compelling at any level. This book is timely because although historical figures are utilized, many Americans credibly argue, for example, that the current Republican president, Donald Trump, falls within the parameters of an eccentric person. Because eccentricity is often disparaged or equated as synonymous with insanity, the author believes the contributions to the world made by these 12 people from diverse fields and the historical proof of their eccentricity provides a fascinating take on a subject very rarely examined. He takes value in recognizing these eccentrics and understanding their positive contributions to the world.
