Square Peg

Square Peg: Sticking It to Social Norms tackles one of the biggest existential questions of our time: how do you live an authentic life? We follow Eker from her schools days where she subverted her true nature to fit in, to her teenage years, when her first experiences with drugs and alcohol led her down a spiral of addiction. We see the effect that familial, cultural, and societal norms had on shaping her behavior. We trail Eker to her darkest days and then watch her rise into a new way of living life. Eker writes candidly about every aspect of her addictions to food, alcohol, drugs, her co-dependent relationships, and her heartbreaks. Part memoir, part guide, her story is a potent reminders of the power of self-belief and self-actualization. This book was written for anyone who has ever felt hemmed-in by "normal" expectations and wants to live a more authentic life, and for anyone who has ever thought "I can be more than this."
