"You are not the brightest of my four sons"

the long version

" ... Mr. Shuchart details the often times outlandish and traumatic events that led to his emotional and physical pain, his opiate addiction, and his battles with mental illness. But by using a technique he learned in therapy, and drawing upon his sense of humor, Mr. Shuchart has been able to reframe many of his traumatic memories to "unstick" the negative emotions tied to them. His story is poignant, very funny and extremely uplifting."--Page 4 of cover.
