“His life was unnecessarily tragic and difficult. But the good news is we can learn from that. If you're in the recovery society, you don't have to be, no, you can move out of it. If you struggle there, if you're in the trap, like he was like I was like Michelle was, that's what this free book is for. It's free.”
