From the father who won over critics and readers with Dear William, a memoir about his late son, comes David Magee's own story of recovery from addiction-all while battling ADHD, depression, anxiety, as well as grief and a costly midlife crisis.
A Little Crazy is a powerful call to action to embrace differences and create a life unbound by stigma and stereotypes, leading to redeeming purpose and joy. Adopted into a family that never quite fit, David Magee battled loneliness and a lack of self-esteem as a teen. These feelings followed and paralyzed him into adulthood until a trusted voice within revealed an unusual-if not a little bit crazy-path forward. Despite difficulties, he followed that path relentlessly, learning to better manage his mental-health adversities and making them his most vital assets.
Follow David's story as he turns his life around, saving his marriage and career, and becomes a trusted voice in breaking mental health and substance misuse stigma among students and parents nationally, all while leading the way in creating a university institute focused on finding solutions to student and family well-being.
A trusted voice in the mental health and substance misuse space, known from his work advocating for student and family well-being nationally, David's inspiring journey teaches readers:
