Tan(θ): A Tangent on Growth

We've been told intelligence can be measured. Numbers on a page, scores on a test, letters on a report card- as if the essence of a life could be reduced to neat little boxes. But what happens when the boxes dont fit? When scars-seen and unseen- are the truest record of survival?

Tan(θ): A Tangent on Growth tears into the myths of IQ, achievement and success with equal parts honesty, wit and rebellion. Through lived experience, sharp critique and unapologetic storytelling, this piece dismantles the tidy narratives sold to us by schools, systems and self-help slogans. It argues that scars are not deficits but data-evidence of resilience, complexity and intelligence that cannot be measured.

Moving between memoir and manifesto, psychology and philosophy, satire and soul, this is not another guide to 'fix yourself'. It is a call to expand your own uncontainable intelligence and resist the subtle urge to shrink into society's measurements.

For the thinkers who never fit, the fighters who carry maps in their wounds and the rebels tired of being told to be less-this is your book.
