About this listen

A brilliant young man suffers life-threatening childhood trauma that returns as mental illnesses in his adult years.

With aspirations of being a successful lawyer, Jonathan embarks on a path to make his dreams come true, but is ultimately, unable to do so due to his schizoaffective disorder. In this candid and unflinching memoir, Jonathan reveals his story in all its rawness: the ups, the downs, the wins, the losses, the highs and the darkest of lows.

Determined to discover his own normal life and find his purpose, Jonathan takes us on the journey of his different life from his earliest memories, through to his debilitating mental illnesses, drug addiction and recovery. Pushing through the depths of his mental health to climb out of the darkness into the light, he shares not only his experiences with trauma, mental illness and self medication but also his wisdom. Jonathan provides simple, easy to use tools and principles that have been the keys to living his own, different life.

Ultimately, each one of us has to rescue ourselves and Jonathan's story is living proof that all of us possess what it takes to be stronger, healthier and happier than we ever imagined.
