Who wants to be that? When Kelly Cutrone’s first book, If You Have to Cry, Go
Outside, was first published, young people flocked to this
new voice—finally, someone was telling it like it is, in
language they spoke. It quickly became a New York Times
bestseller, and fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone became more
than a personality, she became a beloved guru, mentor, and
fairy godmother. Now she’s back with another no-holds-barred book to awaken
our souls and kick our asses into gear. With Normal Gets You
Nowhere, she invites us to get our freak on. History is full
of successful, world-changing people who did not fit in.
Think Nelson Mandela, Joan of Arc, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia
Earhart, John Lennon, and Rosa Parks. Instead of changing
themselves to accommodate the status quo or what others
thought they should be, these people hung a light on their
differences—and changed humanity in the process. “I know you don’t feel normal, so why are you trying to act
it and prove to everyone you are?” Cutrone says. So much of
what we say or don’t say, and what we do or don’t do, is
dictated by what others have told us, or what people may
think of us. This is not how we should be living, by
measuring ourselves against the mundane. An invitation to rethink who you are, what you value, and
what you want from life, Normal Gets You Nowhere goes beyond
how to reinvent yourself and create your own brand, and
investigates what it means to live in this world as a
tuned-in, caring individual with a passion for making a
difference. There’s already an army of super talented
uberfreaks changing the world–isn’t it time you joined it
time you joined them?
