Misfit Audiobook Summary
Updated and expanded: A new edition of the inspiring memoir by one of Canada’s most unusual, successful and socially conscious businesspeople.
“I am different. I have always been different. I grew up scared of being found out, scared of my natural inability to fit in, to conform, to look and sound and dress and behave ‘normal.’ I was always drawn to the different ones and I observed them with fascination–but the thought of being even a little bit like them mortified me. I was desperate to fit in. . . .” –From Misfit
Andreas Souvaliotis was raised at a time when being on the autism spectrum wasn’t easily diagnosed or even discussed. Minds like his were simply considered odd. He also knew from an early age he was gay, and it terrified him as he was growing up with openly homophobic parents in one of Europe’s least tolerant societies.
Andreas’s differences made him an outsider, right through to his mid-forties. And then suddenly, everything changed. Misfit is the extraordinary memoir of a man who realized there was strength in his strangeness, that it could be used as a force for good. “It all happened in a flash. On a beautiful spring morning in 2007, sitting in my backyard and licking my wounds from a spectacular career derailment, I came up with a big idea–and I found myself contemplating the most daring and unconventional pursuit of my life.” The weird kid from Greece was on his way to making his world, and everyone’s world, a better place.
Andreas Souvaliotis’s inspiring story shows us that everyone has what it takes to trigger positive change, and that none of us should see our differences and quirks as handicaps.
