Book Review: Better Than Normal: How What Makes You Different Can Make You Exceptional by Dr. Dale Archer

“Although Dr. Dale Archer is a board certified psychiatrist who has been an expert in his field for over two decades, his new book Better Than Normal: How What Makes You Different Can Make You Exceptional, proves that he has maintained an ability to provide unencumbered, jargon saturated advice. A New York Times best seller, the book reexamines what it means for a trait to be deemed as weak or negative and turns it on its head to view it as something that can be positive and productive.”
