In a world where defying convention with unconventional careers, mindsets, and perspectives is a reality for many, it’s common to feel isolated and feel like the odd one out.

When we no longer fit into neat boxes, the number of people we can relate to and share our unique experiences with diminishes.

However, this way of being is not a curse, as society often portrays it. It is, in fact, a gift. Recently, I came across an exceptional book that has resonated with me – Awaken Your Genius by Ozan Varol.
