Welcome to Litsy!

A very honest and candid memoir focused on Jason‘s struggles with his mental health, career, and family.

Even though Lessons in Chemistry was a reread meaning I eliminate it from tagged favorite consideration, I still would have gone with the tagged as my favorite because this memoir about recognizing/treating one‘s own mental help is so valuable.

5* = Loved It, want to shout out loud about this book! I do/will own/keep a physical copy. A+
4*= I liked it, would love to discuss. Solid B
3*=Meh, no need to discuss. Average C
2*=Nope D
1*=DNF F

This book is inspiring - the memoir of a man with a calling to military service but serving only 4 months in Afghanistan in an intelligence position, didn‘t believe he deserved the PSTD he suffered when compared to soldiers in battle. He was a shooting star in politics with potential to reach the highest office. He took the road less traveled and recognized the need to acknowledge and treat his mental health. I‘m better for reading his story.

This book will save lives. I appreciate is openness and candor. Seeing his pain was not always easy but so worth the effort.
