To the world, he was wild, reckless, and fearless - the life of the party or the dangerous rebel. But inside, he was fighting a brutal war against anxiety, depression, shame, and loneliness.

In this book, Phil shares how he left the city behind, found peace in the silence of the countryside, and began the slow, painful, but beautiful work of rebuilding himself from the inside out.
