The Beauty of Being Weird

A rebellious and provocative take on what it means to be different, offering a way forward for anyone who wants to blaze their own path, from psychologist Sergi Rufi. 

Do you feel like an outsider? Like a weirdo who doesn’t fit in with what society considers “normal”? Have people ever told you you’re too sensitive or too clever? If so, this book is for you. Psychologist Sergi Rufi provides you with tools to start living your life authentically, without blaming or shaming.

Through a poetic and scientific reappraisal of society’s obsession with fitting in, Rufi presents a real reflection on what it means to be human, the root causes of suffering, and, above all, how to avoid the unhappiness of the mainstream. He invites us on a transformative journey that goes beyond good and evil, beyond blame and shame, where unabashed weirdness becomes a breeding ground for authenticity, justice, health, and beauty.

Get the life you’ve always wanted to live with this direct, practical guide, for readers of The Courage to Be Disliked and Don’t Believe Everything You Think.

Sergi Rufi has a PhD in Psychology. He is a therapist and writer, but above all, he is a rebel with a cause. He defines himself as a street professor, spiritual and sensitive, rebellious and engaged – an ex-bad-boy turned meditator, psychologist, psychotherapist, and personal coach. Throughout his life he has faced critical moments which, along with a great deal of pain and hard work, allowed him to confront himself and find an inner acceptance that would transform him. Rufi has always opted for a personal approach to self-improvement, one which rebels against all the classic criteria and one-way thinking with which the academy tends to operate.
