Infos

Teetering confidence levels, feeling different and living as the "e;other"e; are stories we often do not hear from Black men. These remnants of inadequacy seep into their evolving identities and highlight differences as deficiencies. Standing at 7'2, NBA athlete Alexis Ajinca, shares intimate confessions and personal stories of growing up as an outcast and the impacts it has had on his mental and emotional wellness since childhood. From avoiding public appearances so people won't sneak a photo or make comments about his large stature to overcoming feelings of social anxiety and insecurity, in this book, he highlights the challenges that were birthed from living in a body that very few can relate to. Taking readers on a candid journey of self-acceptance and using self-mastery as a way to regulate his emotional responses, Ajinca details the practical tools and mindset shifts he has developed in order to build his confidence. Through his own hardships with being tall, he shares an engaging and powerful message for anyone who has ever felt broken, less than or different. He reminds readers that no matter how successful you may become, feeling good about yourself is a prerequisite to happiness and fulfillment that far outweighs any accolade or dollar amount.
