I appreciate learning the history, the rise in the fall of the Vanderbilts as told through the voice of Anderson Cooper. It was a worthwhile Reed highly recommend it.

An important message

Revisado: 06-19-24

I love this book. It could not stop listening. Rich Paul is intelligent and a survivor. Coming from the school of hard knocks myself, I understand the struggle to break the cycle of dysfunction that keeps people born into a pile of s$!? down. And while I too have written above that to make a difference, I will still take some of his rules and use them to continue to better my life and the lives of the people that I make a difference for. Thank you Rich Paul for sharing your story. If I can convince my students, that come from such terrible backgrounds, to read your story, I hope it will make a difference for them too.

Thorough, thoughtful and necessary

Revisado: 01-24-24

Rosen did a wonderful job of telling a number of different stories about important topics, including the tragedy of Michael Lauder, the history of mental illness, and truly all of the intentions of those involved and/or impacted by serious mental illness. In addition, I learned a lot, even though some of the references are straight out of the Ivy League. I found myself searching and learning even more about so many aspects of the book. What a gift . If you care about the history of mental illness or of you care about someone with a serious mental illness, give this book the time it deserves.

A helpful book to understand trauma from the perspective of the person traumatized

Revisado: 08-09-23

Complex PTSD is explained well. A lot of research was explained well and I enjoyed the beginning and the end of the story most; some of the middle of the story I found hard to follow, but overall a worthwhile listen, and I learned a lot thank you Stephanie Foo for your courage in writing your story.

Thought provoking

The author’s story made me feel as though I was there on the streets with the homeless and medical personnel. If you are a compassionate empath, this book is for you!

What a life! What a remarkable person.

Revisado: 12-16-21

This book is long and detailed with Stevie’s early years to modern day. A remarkable man with depth, empathy, compassion, passion for justice, education, equality, the arts, love, travel, things seen and unseen, with sex appeal and a little naughty even now… that bad boy’s still in there. He’s so much more than a rocker and mainstream actor from Sopranos, Lillehammer and The Christmas Chronicles. He’s loved and lived and left this world a better place for sure. Worth the listen! Thank goodness people like Stevie Van Zandt exist.

Worth the Time

Revisado: 10-05-21

Life can change in a New York minute as the listener is reminded of in this heart wrenching story of 100 lives lost and so many more lives ruined. The author’s book provides a perspective not reported by the media although it should have. I know I will forever look for my fire exits at any venue moving forward. Thank you Scott James

Mindful

Revisado: 06-28-21

As I reflect on the story, I realize the author helped me to more actively accept my inevitable future death. And… because of this, appreciate my life today even more. What an unexpected outcome indeed.
