Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Brian Cuban is a successful lawyer, activist and TV host is living with an enemy that haunted him for over 30 years - his own reflection in the mirror. Through a series ofvery personal, witty and poignant anecdotes, the younger brother of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban opens up about his personal battle with a mental disorder known as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) in which the sufferer is preoccupied with a distorted sense of self-image and is often afflicted with eating disorders, depression and addiction. In the book, Cuban illustrates the ongoing nightmare of (BDD) that has permeated his thoughts since childhood, taking the reader through the painful journey of childhood bullying over his weight, rejection and the behaviors that slowly developed as a young adult which took him into the abyss of depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, steroid abuse and eating disorders, nearly causing him to take his own life at the age of 44.Editorial Reviews: Having helped people learn to lose weight and keep it off for more than 25 years, I now believe Brian Cuban has had the courage to open an emotional door that will give both men and women a true understanding of how they perceive their body image and unlock that door for a lifetime of success Larry North, Healthy Living Lifestyle Expert, Bestselling author of Get Fit and Living LeanIn a field strewn with myth and fiction, Cuban provides us with an absorbing account of his struggle with body dysmorphic disorder, giving a human face to a scientific problem. In my years of working in addiction medicine, I have seen that sometimes it is easier for a patient to realize the need to seek help when they see themselves in the stories of others; Cuban's book is an important addition to scientific texts, and we are all the richer for it. Andrea G. Barthwell, MD, FASAM Past President of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and Former Deputy Director of Demand Reduction, White House Office of National Drug Control PolicyShattered Image is one man's compelling and rare account of his long struggle with and recovery from body dysmorphic disorder. In my professional experience, BBD is a condition that is not often recognized, and I am thankful that Cuban is shedding light on the eating disorders, alcoholism, drug addiction, depression and other psychiatric illnesses that can result from it. Gerald A. Melchiode, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, UT Southwestern Medical CenterShattered Image is infused with relentless resilience in the face of the eating disorders, addiction and despair often associated with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Brian Cuban's candid revelations of the human spirit's ability to overcome significant obstacles will strengthen and encourage all who are fortunate to read this page turner. Jacquelyn Ekern, MS, LPC - President, Eating Disorder Hope Brian Cuban tackles a subject nobody talks about with honesty, grace, and hope. This book will help countless people.
