Dave Rendall has a radical prescription for chronic dissatisfaction: Stop working on your weaknesses and start amplifying them instead. The Freak Factor flips the cult of self-improvement on its head with stories of real people who have soared to success by embracing their uniqueness.
- Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind
David Rendall reclaims the term "freak" for what it is - a powerful, game-changing competitive advantage in life and business. This book will change the way you think about being different, and show you how it's the secret to turning around your career.
- Pam Slim, author of Escape from Cubicle Nation
The Freak Factor is an important idea, and David Rendall's is a voice to be reckoned with. We should all look to our lives to see how we can accommodate rather than eliminate the freaks!
- Nick Morgan, author of Trust Me: Four Steps to Authenticity and Charisma
Everything you've read about weakness is wrong.... until now. This book will help you stop trying to be well-rounded and start excelling at what you always knew you were best at. Raise your freak flag and wave it with pride!
- Chris Guillebeau, author of The Art of Non-Conformity
Are you a freak? Yes, you are, if you want to be extraordinary. In this provocative book, David Rendall shows why being outstanding comes from first standing out.
- Sally Hogshead, author, Fascinate: Your 7 Triggers to Persuasion and Captivation
If you are satisfied with your life and have already achieved your potential, then this book is not for you. If you are flawless, then this book won't be very helpful.
But if you want more from your career, you have real weaknesses and you're looking for a fresh and unconventional approach to personal transformation, then you're in the right place.
Most self-help advice focuses on finding and fixing your weaknesses. Unfortunately, that approach doesn't work. Instead, I want you to flaunt your weaknesses, exaggerate them and amplify them. Sound crazy? It is. And it works.
This book will show you how to: Achieve greater fulfillment in your life and career. Maximize your authenticity and be yourself. Discover your superpowers by uncovering your weaknesses. Create work that fits your unique characteristics. Increase your self-control by improving your fuel efficiency. Cure procrastination with a secret for completing activities you dislike.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
