Anna Akbari is a Sociologist and entrepreneur. She combined her interests and is the founder of Sociology of Style. She is a former professor of media, culture, and communication. She has published books that she has written, she has co-written, and that the has ghost written. She believes she is an “innovation strategist” and that thinking differently is the key to innovation. Sociology of Style is a website with a weekly newsletter. Within this newsletter is commentary on culture, style, and image. Sociology of Style also focuses on topics such as technology, gender, sustainability, and other trending topics. An interesting fact about Anna is she eats the same breakfast and lunch every day. She states, “More choices require time and energy and shift our focus away from other things that matter. More choices also breed a sense of anxiety about making the right choice”. Her posts have a very free spirit vibe, while also having an individualistic empowerment focus. She has created a brand so outside the box through writing, speaking, and leading high profile individuals. Once she gets people to trust what she is speaking about her brand makes money through self help books, courses, media appearances, and paying to work with Anna directly.
Very interesting, becoming a full time author is quite difficult, at least, if you want to live off of it. It’s cool to see someone not only succeed, but proliferate their talents and get involved in numerous writing projects.
