Welcome Back to the Circle: The Mental Health Book (Part 2) (Welcome to the Circle

Hi, my name is Jake Orlowitz and I wrote this book, Welcome Back to the Circle . I wrote it to further tell my story, and I wrote it, again, for you. We don't talk enough about failure. We also don't talk enough about what happens after recovery. When illness is gone, or faded into the past, when symptoms recede or are well-managed, when trauma releases its grip…what then? The simple answer is, you build a life. Of course it's more rich and more complicated than that. Therein lies the rub, and the joy. This book is about the after-after of going off course. When you have found your way again, but it's a new way, something unexpected and altogether better and different. This book starts off with fire, and ends with fire-forged community, apt bookends for how crisis build as it destroys. I hope you'll enjoy any, or every, piece in between, that they inspire you to tell more of your own stories, and to build the life you want. Welcome back to the circle. Thank you for being here.
