I really enjoyed this exploration of the gifts of being a "misfit" in the world, particularly her critic of the infamous "The Hero's Journey" monomyth, and how Misfits may have another path through the world. This book also includes essays from others (the majority of whom were former students of hers) and those are a bit more hit or miss, but still a great way to include a variety of experiences and stories around what it means to "be a misfit."
