Summary note
"The Tao of Ordinariness is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a world now clearly mesmerized by ""spin, "" narcissism, fantasy, and exhibitionism. The book offers an alternative to pressures to measure your self-worth by numbers of likes and followers- i.e., living with a constant fear of ""missing out"" and seeking external validation for who you think you should be-instead of being comfortable with who you truly are"--Provided by publisher
