Description
This book explores the painful emotions that often lie just beneath the surface of a "perfect life". From a childhood riddled with insecurity, to an adulthood marked by the drive to always achieve 'more', and a breakdown at the age of 36, Patkin chronicles his own difficulties and ultimately successful journey towards happiness.
