I'm reading this book right now. By former NFL linebacker Dhani Jones:

Amazon.com: The Sportsman: Unexpected Lessons from an Around-the-World Sports Odyssey (9781609611118): Dhani Jones, Jonathan Grotenstein: Books

He had a show on the Travel Channel called Dhani Tackles the Globe, where he'd play an obscure sport in a foreign country against the native. He'd train for like a week and in that week would also assimilate and learn the customs.

The book is great so far and will make you want to travel and be open to the world more.

Same here. Always trying to better my life and cultivate my interests and personality.

i'll try to post some topics later, but i'm more of reactionary person so it'll take me a second to figure out something i want to talk about. but for starters i guess i can post this wiki article i was reading yesterday about dadaism and surrealism...

Dada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plus rep. Interesting read thus far. I'd stumbled upon something about Dadaism a while back but didn't pay it much mind outside of the definition. What made you come across it?

Also, I remember a SOHH thread where the thread was about self-employed people and one guy told some cool stories about his life as a musician. I notice your "improvisation is freedom." Was that you?

it might have been me. i think i'm the only working musician that's ever been on these forums so more than likely it was me...

:ehh:

Hmm.., let's see if I qualify:

- Been to 22 countries
- Self employed since 25
- Went to a top 5 school for my field
- F*cked every race and major ethnicity, and have f*cked on 4 continents
- Speaks 4 languages fluently, 6 semi-fluently, and basics in 8 languages
- Have been in life or death situations
- Have been in the company of billionaires/millionaires
- Could of have played Division II ball (I know it's weak, but wanted to show I am somewhat athletic :manny:)
- Have eaten stuff that would make you cringe
- I can play two instruments well, and know the basics for two more

Primary Interest: women :datazz:

Secondary Interest: anything to kick the time

For me to complete my journey to the pinnacle of what is a Renaissance man, I would like to formulate some new theories that affect physics or math, but I don't think that'll happen :to:

In seriousness, in response to the OP, the most important thing to being a "Renaissance Man" or a "most interesting man in the world" type dude is gain financial independence. Unfortunately, most of us weren't born into rich families, so that means we need to hustle first. Get that education, so you're not a dummy, then get on your grind. Then once you got that cash flow, you need to travel. From traveling, and learning about new cultures, and smashing women from different places, and being put onto different concepts, you will develop into a "renaissance man", or a person with remarkable experiences and viewpoints on life.
