Why Does InOverYourHead Deserve a Webby?

Because it’s genuinely different.
Not for its own sake, but because Julien Smith is genuinely different too.

Co-author of the bestselling Trust Agents, Julien Smith is an infamously offbeat (and hugely popular) business consultant and lifestyle engineer.

StressLimit developed his personal blog, InOverYourHead, to convey Julien’s iconoclastic perspective on work, health and play.

The blog’s design and navigation play with Julien’s obsessions and renegade personality. Many elements, such as Easter eggs that seem nonsensical, are in fact hat tips to insider web and design culture… meant for Julien’s loyal followers.

Some reasons why we’re proud of this site:

Julien’s blog posts are consistently smart and provocative; his ideas perch on the bleeding edge of contemporary thought about working and living more intelligently.

  • A hanging sign displays random messages, or counts mysteriously.
