by Brad Otto (Author)
In the summer of 2020, gold medalist Simone Biles pulled herself from the Olympic competition because she knew that she wasn't mentally in a good place. She was criticized, belittled, and told to suck it up.
Brad Otto, a Lutheran pastor, was in awe of how she handled it as he once found himself in a similar place with a similar lack of support.
In this book, he highlights his struggles with mental health, which have included trips to emergency rooms, a stay at a mental hospital, and a search to find inner peace and healing.
He reveals that as a pastor, he felt as though he had to conform to a certain persona-and mental illness did not align with what he was meant to convey. Often, the church failed to support him as he worked toward recovery.
The author observes that since we can't see our mental health, we often ignore it. As people around us can't see it either, we have an excuse not to deal with it.
Join the author as he reveals how he's battled to find mental health in an often-unforgiving world.
