Meredith B: 5 STARS!
This read was something I've been looking forward to since I heard that Ginger was coming out with a book about Depression. I think we often think that if someone is in the spotlight and they have a lot of money that their life isn't tough but that's not the reality. It's refreshing when a celebrity opens up about a struggle that people face everyday.
"Ten Days before I started my job at ABC News, I checked myself into a mental health hospital"
Boom. Ginger comes out with rawness and realness in the first sentence of the book. She continues to explore different relationships, different jobs and family that came into her life and how they've shaped her. She tells us about abusive boyfriends she has felt like she's had to please as well as multiple executives that didn't always believe in her but nevertheless she kept going.
This isn't a book that you should go into thinking this will cure my depression or help me get over it. Let me make this clear as I have depression myself. Depression is something you live with you're entire life. It's not something you "get rid of" but rather something you learn to manage.
Ginger, thank you for...

Mainer19: I've followed Ginger Zee's career since she first started at ABC. I'm so happy about her personal and professional success. She is a role model for many young woman. I immediately bought this book because I have a 30ish daughter and ex-husband with mental illness. The book is really more about Ginger's career and her relationships which are interesting. She weaves a "natural disaster" theme through the book that describes both weather events and her behavior. I had hoped it would include more about how severe mental illness is physiological/biological and can have some psychological underpinnings. Many people though have psychological or personality challenges with no psychosis or clinical depression. So many people think it is an emotional disease - it's not. Ginger did highlight one very important factor in her book, which I have found from my experience to be very true. People with mental illness can suffer for years until they find a good psychiatrist. There so many poor psychiatrists and other non-psychiatric doctors that try to treat mental illness and have no idea what they are doing. Finding the right psychiatrist can make the difference between a happy life and a tragic...
