About the Book

When you are told over and over that you are different and not normal, you start to believe that it’s a bad thing. Even after you begin to succeed, to make use of your strange talents and ways of being, the criticisms and the rejections never seem to end.

But here’s the truth: the System needs you more than you need them.

This is a book for ambitious outliers—the ones who break with convention, who feel like too much yet not enough, and ready to put their own dent in the universe.

Do you see the world differently and struggle to conform to societal norms? You're not alone, and you're not the problem—you're the solution our world desperately needs.

In WEIRDLY BRILLIANT startup founder turned executive coach Jason Shen challenges the status quo and celebrates the power of outliers. This captivating book is a rallying cry for those who've felt marginalized by their uniqueness, offering a fresh perspective on how to harness your distinctive talents and make a lasting impact on the world.

Through inspiring stories of unconventional thinkers like Temple Grandin, Ludwig Guttmann, and his own outlier experience, Shen illustrates how embracing our differences can lead to groundbreaking innovations and social change. He provides practical strategies for redefining ambition, developing talents, and finding your place in a world that often misunderstands brilliance that deviates from the norm.

WEIRDLY BRILLIANT is a book for dreamers, the rebels, and the insanely talented troublemakers. It's for anyone who's ever felt out of place but knew, deep down, they had something extraordinary to offer.

• Confront "The System" that tries to put you in a box
