Although this is considered a self help book, it is more like a series of essays and life experiences. I have to admire someone with a strong point of view and an ability to back it up. I disagreed with many of Ms. Cutrone's opinions but I did find them interesting. She does use the f-word often (which doesn't offend me but I am kind of sick and tired of seeing in print) and there is a strong yoga/spirituality theme that tended to almost drone on in places but she is an interesting woman who strives to practice what she preaches.
Kelly Cutrone's not a writer for the weak of heart. She tells it to you straight, is willing to swear as needed and sees through the bull going on around us and is willing to share her opinions loudly and strongly. "Normal Gets You Nowhere" is a great way to get to know Cutrone and decide whether or not you agree with her alternative viewpoints and forceful opinions. I love 'er!
