About this listen

 '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

'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.'

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.

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.

After years spent trying to fit the mould 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 marginalise so many.

This is a book that will give hope to anyone who has ever felt different and help you realise that your version of your normal is enough.©2023 Dr Alex George Aging & Longevity Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success Inspiring Mental Health Health

I am very grateful that I was utterly clueless as to who you are Alex. I live in a world locked away from news and celebrity. My lack of knowledge on this subject steered me to your direction.
A truly eye opening book, and as a parent of an Autistic adult, a great font of knowledge.
Thank you Dr Alex for your raw, unabridged account of your life and what it is like to be neuro diverse.

An incredible view into a normal/not normal mind.

The first part of the book was really interesting, personal and relatable but this tailed off half way through and became a bit less engaging. A bit too focussed on self appreciation as a Dr in my opinion, although I do respect the profession and author.

Poorly read too.

Started well, initially relatable but got boring.
