From online reviewers:
- "It is funny, shocking and one of the most openly vulnerable stories I've ever heard from a male author."
- "I highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a good laugh and also get a free therapy session!"
- "Find yourself a comfy chair and a cup of coffee or tea and be prepared to, in turns, laugh out loud and stop to ponder your own road to authenticity."
When Dan married a psychiatrist, he didn't expect a crash course in self-awareness...
Dan was forty years old. He had money, a nice house, and got along great with other people. He wasn't one of those guys who stumbled his way through life; he was a winner. He gave to charities, ran marathons, and even fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a SWAT team leader.
So how did a petite, bleached-blond, Harley riding psychiatrist that he would meet on a dating website proceed to turn his life around, most notably, in a positive direction?
She explained it like this: Intelligent people are often the hardest ones to treat. Their clever minds create intricate defense mechanisms that serve to rationalize their dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. This is why some of the most successful and educated people end up leading unhappy and unfulfilled lives.
He liked the way she said that; it made him sound smart. However, when he looked at what he'd learned, his defense mechanisms didn't exactly resemble the construct of a genius, which then begged the question, if his dysfunctions were so simplistic and poorly defended, then why hadn't he noticed them before?
It's not an easy question to answer, which is why he wrote this book.
Told with unflinching honesty, raw humility, and a healthy dose of hilarity, Married to a Psychiatrist follows Dan's true story as his wife provides insights into his thoughts and behaviors that will force him to confront some uncomfortable truths about his character which, once acknowledged, will forever change him and his perception of the world.
Don't be surprised if what he discovers inspires you to take a soul-searching journey of your own...
