WEIRD The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World

Could being different from everyone else in a community make one's life more fulfilling? Renata Friedman brings a bright, steady voice to her narration of a new audiobook on weirdness, the effects of social rejection, the importance of differences, and advice on how to thrive when one is blessed with being weird. Friedman delivers the author's tongue-in-cheek descriptions of growing up an off-kilter Russian-Jewish immigrant in Midland, Texas. In telling the stories of others, Friedman affects a respectful and interested tone. The topic of this audiobook is well worth a listen, and Friedman's delivery makes it even better.
