More Praise for Saving Dad
“If we continue to see mental illness as a state of being rather than a journey of self-discovery, we will miss out on the gift hidden behind the dragon. Saving Dad is a portrait of the intuitive search for that gift and the transformation of seeing mental disease through love and the wisdom of natural medicine.”
Dr. Kelly Brogan, New York Times Bestselling Author
“Evocative, emotive and told with a sense of humour, Saving Dad is a moving reminder of the perspective-changing power of using personal stories to show the complex reality of mental health challenges. As if hearing from a familiar friend, Matt tells his story honestly, with humanity, and at times brutally, in a way that portrays the tragic unpredictability of bi-polar disorder both simply and smartly. His own self-awareness and understanding of body and mind is an example to us all.”
