<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>I am a recovering douchebag. </p><p>As an ad executive, I was living an amazing life. I traveled the world on someone else's dime, enjoyed a college-degree-level career without a degree, and became one of many peacocking urban males populating major coastal cities, fancy office buildings, convention centers, hotel lobbies, bars, and restaurants. </p><p>I was deploying fashion, discourse, athletics, and other personas to manage a public appearance of physicality, status, expertise, and productivity. After all, when a man looks good and speaks well, little else matters, right? I was living the life everyone coveted, and I knew it. I was even jealous of myself at times.</p><p>However, within every insecure and arrogant male resides a scared little boy demanding attention. And if I was ever going to experience the true fullness of life, a shift was needed. My pretentious parade would have to end.</p><p>You see, I managed to marry a woman who saw beyond my facade and was the catalyst to my recovery. When we started a family, she had no intention of raising our two boys alongside another little boy. I had no choice but to retool. It was time to grow up, sit on a therapist's couch for eight years, and evolve for my family. I finally dared to deal with my chronic anxiety, episodic depression, and other neuroses I was too ashamed to admit.</p><p>And then...I wrote about it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Dumont's book is a quick read, but not in the bad way. It is witty and captivating. What shines through most is his humanity; whether on top of the world or gazing up through the muck of disappointment and failure, Dumont never loses sight of the fact that he-and we-are always on the precipice."</p><p>-- David M. Krakow, Freelance Journalist, Princeton University</p><p><br></p><p>"This is the most amazing, moving, and inspiring memoir I've ever read. It takes us from tough times to triumph and tragedy, and then ultimately, true wisdom. It isn't just the fascinating story of one man, but rather captures the spirit of what it's like to be nearly any man, or even human being, in our time. You'll read it with astonishment and gratitude. Highly recommended!"</p><p>-- Tom Morris, National bestselling author of many books, including True Success, The Oasis Within, and Plato's Lemonade Stand</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
