    Read excerpt

    Tired of shrinking to fit in? Feeling like a square peg in a round hole? These common issues can make us feel as if we'll never truly belong. We crave inclusion for many reasons. On an evolutionary level, instinct drives us to be part of a pack because we're more likely to survive.
