How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight? When Malala Yousafzai was thrust onto the public stage, she was just fifteen years old. Forced to leave her home in Pakistan after the Taliban''s brutal attack on her life, she became an international icon - a young woman who embodied courage, resilience and hope. But underneath that outward-facing persona was a survivor grappling with how to move forward after her life was categorically and inalterably changed, set on a path that she never would have predicted. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of mental health and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself while everyone else tries to define you. In her new book, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman finally at peace. Along the way, she offers revealing and profound meditations on her struggles with anxiety, and the tightrope she walked to balance the weight of her public role with the private need to rediscover herself. In this unforgettable memoir, told with humour, vulnerability and piercing candidness, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose survival seemed to define her narrative - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is.

Klappentext

Malala Yousafzai was just fifteen years old when she was shot in the head at point-blank range for daring to speak out against the Taliban and fight for her right to an education. In an instant, she became the most famous teenager in the world. Millions of people knew her name, but in the years that followed her shooting - as she became a Nobel laureate, a bestselling author, an Oxford graduate, a wife - she began to feel less and less sure that she really knew herself.

Buckling under the weight of all her different identities (heroic schoolgirl, reckless college kid, good Pashtun daughter, overachieving academic, global activist icon), Malala realised she needed to figure out who it was she really wanted to be. That journey to self-discovery is the story of this book.
