WHO DECIDED THIS WAS NORMAL?

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Everything you believe began somewhere. Long before you had a chance to decide who you were, someone else was already shaping the way you saw the world. Your parents. Your culture. Your religion. Your school. Your community. They gave you language, values, traditions, and beliefs. Many of them became so familiar that you stopped noticing they were beliefs at all. But have you ever stopped to ask why? Why do we define success the way we do? Why do we believe certain families are “normal”? Why do we work the way we do? Why do we defend ideas we’ve never examined? And who decided these things in the first place? Who Decided This Was Normal? is not a book that tells you what to believe. It is an invitation to rethink everything you thought you already knew. Through honest reflection, history, everyday experiences, and uncomfortable questions, Sonia Benjoye explores how inherited beliefs quietly shape our lives and why curiosity may be one of the most powerful tools we have. You may not finish this book with different beliefs. But you will almost certainly finish it asking different questions.

Helhall: Before anything else, I’d like to emphasize that I really did like the overall story. Characters were more than two-dimensional, so definitely a plus. I didn’t even mind the shifting points of view.But...There are a couple of things that made reading the story very difficult.1- Punctuation is your f...

P.I

Evtida: It was a very sweet story, but it felt rushed. It didn't really convey the emotions. For example, when the girl was kidnapped, instead of panicking, going crazy, and causing a scene, giving in felt strange... His exaggerated relationship with his gay friend was also odd in my opinion.
