“Rarely does a book emerge so radically different it feels like an instant classic. Unique You is just that—a stunning and highly readable exploration of purpose and personal value. As AI reshapes our world, understanding our human uniqueness is vital. Professor Nicholson releases us from the tyranny of labels and conformity, distilling wisdom from a lifetime of teaching. Packed with research and heart-warming stories, these pages explode with life-enhancing insights to turbo-charge your next chapters. This book will help you make sense of your own story and inspire you to seize your future.”
