Publisher's summary

An empowerment manifesto for creatives, misfits, innovators, and disruptors from the star of So You Think You Can Dance and creator of Broadway's Finding Neverland

A Unicorn in a World of Donkeys offers a playbook for living a creative and authentic life. Using her own story as a launching spot, and creative quizzes, charts, and lists to engage the listener in an interactive journey, Mia Michaels explores the experience of the unicorn in a world of donkeys, a world where fitting in, pleasing others, following rules, and maintaining norms—no matter how messed up those norms are—is the only acceptable path.

She acknowledges the struggles of the unicorn life—loneliness, ridicule, being misunderstood and undervalued—and goes on encourage listeners to reframe the unicorn life the way she has, as essential to a life of brilliance.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"One word describes Mia Michaels . . . FEARLESS! Everything she touches goes beyond expectations. Which says a lot because the expectations on her are always high. Working with her was such a highlight of my career because I've always been such a fan. That fearlessness is perfectly translated into this book. C'mon, it's Mia, you already know that this book is going to be incredible before you even open the cover!"—Matthew Morrison, TV star of Glee, actor, dancer, and singer-songwriter

"Mia embodies magic in her dance. It's no wonder she now runs with unicorns. Young artists, buy this book!"—Kristin Chenoweth, Tony-winning actress and singer

"Mia is a force of nature! She has an infectious energy that inspires you to want to create with her."—Heidi Klum, model, TV host, producer, fashion designer

Knowing yourself

This was a great thing to listen to for people who feel misunderstood in the world. It is a great reflection of how you should be an individual and stand by who you are, no matter what other people think. I truly enjoyed listening to this and can relate to all the things Mia said. Thank you for sharing your story and letting g people know they are not alone. Thanks
