Description
Come an enjoy a classicly bonkers talk and book signing from Robin Ince of Radio 4’s Infinite Monkey Cage fame. Robin will be promiting his new book, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, which is available online from Liskeard Bookshop. Robin’s talks are always hillarious and engaging, and his insights into the world of neurodiversity are not to be missed.
Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal reminds us all – no matter how weird we feel – that it’s okay to be a little different.
We all are. What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn’t a sign of weakness, but strength?For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play – a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety.
But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones. In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of “being normal” really is. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour.
We highly reccomned pre-ordering your copy of Robin’s Book in advance from www.thebookshopliskeard.com as there will be limited copies on sale on the day.
