I recognize my own schizoaffective patterns in this quite a lot and I'm very grateful to Steve for sharing his valuable insights. Like him I've overcome a lot with the help of medication, writing, and therapy. I have also benefitted from more traditional spiritual approaches including meditation, religion and a 12 step program. Like him I mended bridges in my family of origin and still find myself looking for "more friends," something that interestingly is an obsession with me and Steve alike!

I did feel that the last half of the book could've used quite a lot more editing. It was so repetitive I had to skim large chunks. I would've liked to know more about his career path to published writer and speaker.

If you're suffering from Schizoaffective or Schizophrenia, pick this book up. It would especially help family members. I related to too much of his story to fully describe in a review.
