Publisher's Summary
This book is about an award-winning entrepreneur who suffered from bouts of depression. One day, he attempted to suicide by walking into a river—fully dressed in a business suit. At the last minute, he decided to save himself and swam back to shore.
"Rise Above" details John Melnick’s difficult childhood with a controlling mother, his business rise, his bouts with depression, his attempted suicide, his recovery in hospital, and his ongoing strategies to stay mentally healthy.
Here is what professionals in the field are saying about this book: "Rise Above" is courageous, inspiring, and heartwarming. John boldly takes readers through the experience of his downward trajectory, attempting suicide, and then finding the supports, tools and insights for recovering. This book is highly recommended for people experiencing depression and for those who love them. (Kathleen Thompson, PhD, MSW, RSW)
