Normal Sucks: How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines Audiobook (Free)

This program is read by the writer.

Confessional and frequently hilarious, in Regular Sucks a neuro-diverse writer, advocate, and father meditates in his life, offering the radical message that we should stop trying to repair people and begin empowering them to succeed.

Jonathan Mooney blends anecdote, expertise, and memoir to provide a new mode of considering how we live and learn-individually, uniquely, and with advantages and upshots to every type of brain and body. Being a neuro-diverse kid about Normal Sucks: How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines identified as having dyslexia and ADHD who didn’t learn to go through until he was twelve, the realization that that he wasn’t the problem-the program and the concept of regular were-saved Mooney’s lifestyle and fundamentally transformed his outlook. Here he explores the toll that getting not regular takes on children and adults when they’re captured in environments that label them, pity them, and tell them, even in subtle ways, that they are the problem. But, he argues, if we are able to reorient the ways that we think about diversity, capabilities, and disabilities, we are able to start a trend.

A highly popular presenter, Mooney has been inspiring audiences with his story and his message for nearly two decades. Now he’s ready to share what he’s learned from parents, teachers, researchers, and children in a reserve that’s as very much a survival guideline as it is certainly a call to action. Whip-smart, insightful, and absolutely inspiring-and movingly framed being a notice to his personal young sons, as they work to find their methods in the world-this audiobook will upend what we call normal and empower us all.
