That is, I have not come up through journalism.

I've not studied this.

And so this was a real opportunity for me to learn and grow in my writing.

And I can really chart over the course of writing this book my skill development in this area of trying to put other people thoughtfully and accurately on the page in a manner that constitutes good storytelling.

So these bits are so important.

to my why about writing this book.

And it was really essential that I get them right, not just for the reader, but for the person I'm profiling.

And so I had quite an intimate relationship with each one going back and forth, making sure that they feel that I've constructed this profile accurately, thoughtfully, and ultimately, I hope they'll be proud of it.

The three people that anchored this particular chapter, Take Good Care of Yourself, are a guy named Tone, who's about 22.

And

is dealing with or was dealing with a really acute set of struggles, anxiety and depression coming out of a highly academically stressed out childhood.

And he talks about his recovery and his practices for keeping himself aware of what his self is going through, journaling, meditation practice that was really quite foreign to him at the outset.

Then I have Sarah, who's 29 now.

And a woman from Puerto Rico who is part indigenous Taino is the name of her people and her ethnicity.

And she struggled with eating disorders and OCD in college as she was sort of fetishized and otherized at a highly elite college coming out of the island of Puerto Rico where she was one of the best math students on the island and yet

at her college, Stanford, people could only see her for how beautiful she was.

And she talks about moving into a community that celebrated indigenous culture, the Native American theme dorm on campus, as a way to fully know herself and embrace herself and discovering her indigeneity and appreciating it, being around others who did, really was the source of her healing.

And then I have Jeff, who is a 47-year-old

conservative white male who was in the military and became bipolar, had his first manic episode on a highway in Washington, D.C., and was basically asked to leave the military where he had a high security clearance.

And this is a story of his journey to deal with his bipolar disorder.
