The user guide to turn your most embarrassing characteristics into your greatest secrets for success

When you're born into this world, you aren't born knowing you are different, till someone points it out. And makes a bigger deal of it than he or she needs to.

Uma Rudd Chia was different for a few reasons. She had clinical ADHD which was only diagnosed when she was 16, because of a tragedy-but even when she found out, she desperately tried to keep it a secret because there was no worse crime than being different.

The reality is we are all different. But we live in a society and go through an education system that defines what normal looks like. This may prepare you to be an obedient member of society - one that's predictable and easy to control. But does it make you the best version of you?

This book contains her life learnings from being different-how through a turn of events and life changing encounters, Uma learned to embrace and accept her differences and become all that she is - wife, mother, keynote speaker, author, cofounder of Singapore's coolest women run advertising agency and a notorious rule breaker.

Whether you are reading this book hoping to be a better person or to simply have a good laugh, the one thing it will definitely help you do is embrace what makes you unique and use that to conquer your world.
