A Unicorn in a World of Donkeys: A Guide to Life for All the Exceptional, Excellent Misfits Out There
Mia Michaels
Dance & other performing arts, Self-help & personal development
An empowerment manifesto for creatives, misfits, innovators, and disruptors from the star of So You Think You Can Dance and creator of Broadway's Finding Neverland
A UNICORN IN A WORLD OF DONKEYS offers a playbook for living a creative and authentic life. Using her own story as a launching spot, and creative quizzes, charts, and lists to engage the reader in an interactive journey, Mia Michaels explores the experience of the unicorn in a world of donkeys, a world where fitting in, pleasing others, following rules, and maintaining norms-no matter how messed up those norms are-is the only acceptable path. She acknowledges the struggles of the unicorn life-loneliness, ridicule, being misunderstood and undervalued-and goes on encourage readers to reframe the unicorn life the way she has, as essential to a life of brilliance.

One word describes Mia Michaels . . . FEARLESS! Everything she touches goes beyond expectations. Which says a lot because the expectations on her are always high.

C'mon, it's Mia, you already know that this book is going to be incredible before you even open the cover! - Matthew Morrison, TV star of Glee, actor, dancer, and singer-songwriter
