Are you normal? What is normal anyway? Is our idea of normal abnormally narrow? Can trying to be normal drive you mad? Is society normal? These are the kind of questions Dr Alex George explores in his new book Am I Normal?
It’s not a self-help book, but a “a critical view of what normality is” and whether “being normal matters or not.” He wants to know, “Is it me or is it the world?” His core message is simple: It should be normal not to be normal.
