"""A compelling memoir of a stutterer who makes his psychiatric career administering the 'talking cure' and, even after a tour of duty in Vietnam, finds a way to transcend this disability."" -Joel Kanter, MSW, LCSW-C, Founding Board Member, New Washington School of Psychiatry ""Toward the end of his thought-provoking book, Charles Sacks writes of having found the courage to speak despite a lifetime spent stuttering. And what he has to say is well worth paying attention to. Drawing on experiences ranging from his time in Vietnam to his decades spent helping patients as a psychiatrist, Sacks writes of the fears we all face in one form or another-the fear of humiliation, of loneliness, and even death. And he shows us-through his life and his reflections-ways to cope, persevere and thrive. Peppered with observations ranging from authors Gabriel Garcia Marquez to Martin Buber, Sacks' story is an inspiring and illuminating read for our fraught times."" -Rich Miller, Senior Correspondent, Bloomberg News"
