India, Dec. 6 -- 1After your last memoir, what pushed you to write Finding My Way? When the world learned my name, I was in a coma, completely unable to speak for myself. Other people defined me and a lot of times they got it wrong. This book is my reintroduction - not as a symbol or someone to be idolised, but as myself, a young woman still figuring things out. 2What were the positive and negative ramifications of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize at such a young age? Most of the people who receive honours like this have spent their whole lives dedicated to their work, whether that's medical research, literature or efforts to resolve major conflicts. For me, there was no roadmap. It felt like I had to spend the rest of my life proving I was worthy of the honours and titles people gave me. Personally, that was a lot of pressure. But it also built a lot of awareness about the fact that millions of girls are still out of school around the world. And, to the extent that my life can be used to bring progress for other girls and women, I'm grateful for it. 3You write about really vulnerable chapters of your life. What encouraged you to go there, in the book? One of my biggest inspirations for writing this book was knowing there might be someone out there going through what I went through, specifically struggling with their mental health - feeling lonely, anxious and unsure of where they belong in the world. Those feelings can be so isolating, so overwhelming. And yet, they are also universal. That's why I wanted to share the real details of my journey: the awkwardness, the struggles, the doubts, the small moments of hope; because I know how much it would have meant to me back then to hear that someone else had felt the same way. To know these things aren't flaws or weaknesses, but part of being human. 4How did your stance on marriage change? I still believe marriage is an institution that we should be cautious about, as it has so often been used to disempower women and keep them from pursuing their dreams. I do not regret taking my time to decide to get married, and I am happy that I found a husband who supports my work and treats our marriage like an equal partnership. 5Amid the carnage in Gaza, Sudan, and other regions, do you have a message to share, to inspire hope for a more just and peaceful future? I think it's understandable when people feel discouraged and hopeless about the injustice and violence in the world. As someone who lived through armed conflict and saw horrible violence as a child, I would tell people to not look away and not give up hope that things will change. It's awful to feel like you've been abandoned and that no one cares about the suffering you are experiencing. So, we must keep raising awareness and advocating for peace....
