My Book

I Married a Coconut

Can happiness be found even when it defies conventional expectations? The human experience is a mosaic of coexisting elements, and Priti's journey embodies the beauty of embracing such complexity. In a world that often pressures individuals to conform to singular molds, she operates in the realm of "And" rather than "Either/Or”, proving the coexistence of so-called opposites is not just possible, but exquisitely human.

Priti Tanna has come to understand that embracing duality is the key to achieving liberation from the imaginary life we often imprison ourselves within—as well as the external expectations imposed upon us by family, culture, and society. In showing up authentically and not playing a role regardless of where she finds herself, Priti shows others that there is always a way to move toward something better.

I Married a Coconut intertwines Priti's transformative quest, resonating with immigrant parents guiding their children's future, individuals challenging societal norms, and those seeking a profound understanding of themselves. By recounting her own experiences, Priti sets ablaze a vivid symphony of motivation and authentic self-revelation, a poignant reminder that the power to forge an extraordinary path resides within the core of our being.
