A MUST READ

A MUST READ

Hi forum members

I just wanted to share a book I have just finished reading called 'Broken Open' by Craig Hamilton. It is not a new release (2004?) but it is definitely well worth reading. It was recommended to me by an aunt.

The book is about Craig's life and how he developed his mental illness because of working hard and playing hard. He was a sports presenter with the usual life pressures of family, a mortgage and a demanding job. He was a real blokey-bloke that simply cracked under the pressure.

I believe it's the sort of book men could really relate too as he thought he was invincible and unstoppable and became 'Jesus Christ' .

I can't wait to read his latest book 'a better life'.

Re: A MUST READ

Thanks @Linmerc for sharing this book.

It sounds like a great read with some really great insight into the demands and stresses of life and the effect these can have on a person.

Look forward to hearing what you think of his other book!
