Maridimi | 5 comments Non fiction read between 2016-2019 with stories of people living how they wanted despite society viewing them as "stupid". Includes examples of Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda, who kept fighting even after the war ended, and a guy who died climbing mt.Everest. because to him living the way he wanted (risk taking = excitement) was more important than personal safety. There were more stories but I never got the chance to read them.
I think it was meant to be a self-help book about not caring what society says and ignore discouragement. (like "the subtle art of not giving a f*ck") The Greek version had an orange cover, paperback, and was sold in some supermarkets too as a popular, easy-read.

SOLVED: It WAS "The subtle art of not giving a f*ck" even though I originally checked it and thought it was wrong...!!!

Oh my god, thank you so much! I did check this as the very first solution but didn't find the story I mentioned so I dropped it.
