An inspirational and purpose-led memoir from Dr Alex George - providing readers with a window on to his experiences as well as his personal and professional insights on the notion of 'normality'.<BR><BR>“The world can feel a hard place at times, who hasn't asked themselves 'Is it me?' How wonderfully reassuring to have Dr Alex ask those same questions with his trademark warmth and honesty. A must read for everyone trying their best at life.” DR JULIE SMITH<BR><BR>“This is the story of all of the ways in which I didn't fit in and of all the things I would rather change about the world, than myself.”<BR><BR> How many of us have at some time wondered 'Am I Normal?' And yet, our society is set up in such a way that there is very little room for difference or quirks or for us to question what normal really is.<BR><BR> In this powerful, honest, and ultimately comforting book, mental fitness advocate and former A&E doctor Dr Alex George explores what it means to be "normal" in a society that often fails to embrace any kind of straying from the accepted path laid out by the expectations of others.<BR><BR> After years spent trying to fit the mold of what others expected of him, Alex's ADHD diagnosis became a turning point - not just in understanding himself, or helping him navigate the highs and lows he had experienced in childhood, whilst working in A&E and after the devastating loss of his brother, but in challenging the systems and society that marginalize so many.<BR><BR> This is a book that will give hope to anyone who has ever felt different and help you realize that your version of your normal is enough.
