Book excerpt: Are you normal? What's normal about you? If your family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers were asked whether you were normal, how would they respond? What would be the basis of their response? If someone asked you if you were normal, what would you say? What criteria would you use to come up with your answer? What's the basis for being normal? Do you even want to be normal? In this ever-changing, topsy-turvy world, what used to be normal often appears to be not so normal today. Similarly, certain thinking and behaviors formerly considered far from normal are gaining acceptance. How, then, do you decide what's normal when normalcy is a moving target? How do you detect when a previous norm is no longer valid? How do you discern when the once outrageous is now the norm or for how long it will remain normal? What's normal seems to be like shifting sand, with no sure way to decide. I'm normal. I AM is spoken by the One who speaks the Truth and knows definitely what is normal. If you are struggling to determine what is normal and what is not in these ever-changing times, be encouraged. You are about to discover eternal Truths set against the backdrop of our modern culture. From now on, you will have a clear understanding of what's normal and what's not. "Be normal." - I AM.

At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation—awkward but electrifying—something life changing begins. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.

It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can’t.

Download or read book Normal Sucks written by Jonathan Mooney and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessional and often hilarious, in Normal Sucks a neuro-diverse writer, advocate, and father meditates on his life, offering the radical message that we should stop trying to fix people and start empowering them to succeed Jonathan Mooney blends anecdote, expertise, and memoir to present a new mode of thinking about how we live and learn—individually, uniquely, and with advantages and upshots to every type of brain and body. As a neuro-diverse kid diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD who didn't learn to read until he was twelve, the realization that that he wasn’t the problem—the system and the concept of normal were—saved Mooney’s life and fundamentally changed his outlook. Here he explores the toll that being not normal takes on kids and adults when they’re trapped in environments that label them, shame them, and tell them, even in subtle ways, that they are the problem. But, he argues, if we can reorient the ways in which we think about diversity, abilities, and disabilities, we can start a revolution. A highly sought after public speaker, Mooney has been inspiring audiences with his story and his message for nearly two decades. Now he’s ready to share what he’s learned from parents, educators, researchers, and kids in a book that is as much a survival guide as it is a call to action. Whip-smart, insightful, and utterly inspiring—and movingly framed as a letter to his own young sons, as they work to find their ways in the world—this book will upend what we call normal and empower us all.
