So much is lost to the myth/cult of normal. Jonathan’s honest, painful, funny, and infinitely insightful journey to understand “normal” is a paradigm-shifting read.

Trauma healing is core to my life, from a personal journey to academic studies and creative works.
I wish I could have read this book earlier in my own journey of trauma healing. The metaphors & writing are brilliant and it truly feels like the missing trail guide.
Highly recommend to anyone on their own journey, regardless of where they are on the path.
