Better Than Normal

Better Than Normal: How What Makes You Different Can Make You Exceptional is the New York Times bestselling collaborative effort between psychiatrist Dr. Dale Archer and Idea Platforms, Inc. In it, Dr. Archer identifies eight essential traits of human behavior, each of which exists on a continuum that allows it to be understood in a negative or a positive light. While in the extreme these traits may be diagnosed as mental illnesses, many people exhibit these traits at lower levels, where they can actually create opportunities for success. By reframing the traits we can better understand why these traits may exist and what opportunities they might afford.

Better Than Normal is a New York Times, Amazon, and Publishers Weekly bestseller.
