We live in a world where the velocity of change might make us feel dizzy, confused, or disoriented. The insurmountable challenges and conflicts can make us desperate for familiar places of respite and comfort.

But what if these familiar places have disappeared or changed so much that we no longer recognize them?

We may look for ways to re-create circumstances and situations that remind us of what is known to us. Like through the exchange with like-minded people to find acknowledgement, confirmation and safety.

But what if the most obvious way to approach the intolerable, wrong, and uncomfortable actually fortifies it?

This book is about how real-life experiences and challenges encouraged me to walk a different, unknown, and uncertain path, allowing me to make discoveries and realizations that radically changed my perspective on what it means to experience.

With it emerged a lifelong dream that I was not even conscious of – the realization of my uniqueness.
