A gift that celebrates being yourself, in your own unique way. Do
you ever feel different? A little weird, a little wacky? It’s time to
own it, because, as Meryl Streep proclaimed, “what makes you different
or weird, that’s your strength.” In this inspiring collection, singers,
poets, actors, activists, comedians, designers, athletes, and
philosophers share wise and pithy reflections on what it’s like to march
to the beat of a different drummer. Every statement is a powerful,
positive reminder that to live successfully is to be completely
unapologetically you.
