Kelly Cutrone has long been mentoring women on how to make it in one of the most competitive industries in the world. In her trademark, no-bullshit style, she combines personal and professional stories to share her secrets for success without selling out. Raw, hilarious, shocking, but always the honest truth, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside calls upon you to gather up your courage like an armful of clothes at a McQueen sample sale and follow your soul where it takes you. Whether you're just starting out in the world or looking to reinvent yourself, this book will be the spark you need to figure out what you have to say to the world—and how you're going to say it.

Normal? Who wants to be that? In her latest book, Kelly Cutrone, the fashion publicist and New York Times bestselling author, returns with a powerful message for those feeling out of place. After the success of her first book, she became a beloved mentor and guru for young people seeking authenticity. Now, she challenges us to embrace our uniqueness and reject the constraints of conformity. History is filled with extraordinary individuals—like Nelson Mandela and Joan of Arc—who changed the world by celebrating their differences rather than fitting into societal norms. Cutrone asks, “I know you don’t feel normal, so why are you trying to act it?” This book encourages readers to break free from the expectations imposed by others and to live authentically. It’s an invitation to reassess your identity, values, and aspirations, urging you to create your own path rather than measuring yourself against the mundane. Normal Gets You Nowhere goes beyond self-reinvention; it explores what it means to be a compassionate, engaged individual with a desire to make a difference. Join the ranks of talented “uberfreaks” who are changing the world—it's time to embrace your true self.
