Mom Says, Dad Says, Nat Says: Other -- A Book for Anyone Daring
to be Different
Have you ever been the odd one
out? Perhaps, simply misunderstood or boxed in to some role you
were not interested in playing? Unfortunately, you are not alone.
A lot of people don't always fit in. They may look different, or
they may just feel different. And many times that is a good thing.
Being different can push us to think outside the box, to resist
peer pressure, to find our own path in life, to discover what only
we can become.
Daring to be Different is Not Easy
To be different, however, is not
easy. To succeed you need to know the ABC's of belonging, how to
outwit difficult people with a big heart, and do so with laughter.
Gain an Edge by Understanding Group Differences
'Other,' explores the psychology
of group differences; how they help or hinder individuals to find
their way in life. The book is written for busy adults and curious
kids who do not fit neatly into one category.
The Book "Other" Shows Us How
To:
- Discover you are an 'other'
or different from those around you
- Develop surprising and fun coping
strategies for being an 'other'
- Create your own rules of the
game to become something bigger
