Mark’s story is one of recovery and sobriety. It brilliantly articulates the societal pressures that can leave people feeling isolated and lost, and offers a path to finding your own sense of ‘good enough’.

Wie frühe Prägungen unsere Beziehungen bestimmen. Frühe Bindungserfahrungen und emotionale Verletzungen aus der Kindheit hinterlassen Spuren in unserem Nervensystem, die sich ein Leben lang auswirken können: wiederkehrende Konflikte, Gefühle tiefer Einsamkeit und Selbstentfremdung.

If it's a struggle you're dealing with, there's nothing more frustrating because it seems no matter how hard you try, your mind always wins.

I led a relatively adventurous life, even before I joined the Army. I faced many of the same challenges that most people encounter on a daily basis.

I had a very bad day at work shortly after returning home to Fort Hood from my second deployment.

Prendetevi la luna non è un consiglio, ma una suggestione. Non vale solo nei momenti difficili, ma anche in quelli di gioia, o quando si tende più alla rassegnazione che all'esaltazione. La luna è lì apposta, scompare e ricompare proprio perché se ci fosse sempre sarebbe banale.

Oggi più che mai siamo catturati dal presente e ce lo siamo fatti bastare, forse atterriti per ciò che potrebbe essere alle porte o per sazietà di quanto possediamo.
