Vincent Michael Vassolo is a 65 year old man who has managed to
survive a lifetime of Crohn's and craziness. During his 53 years as
a casualty of Crohn's disease, he's undergone 18 surgeries (only 5
bowel resections, though), and too many hospitalizations and
medical procedures to recount or recall. Despite that, he considers
himself to be the healthiest Crohn's patient in America. But his
war with Crohn's is only half the story. The other half is about
his turbulent decades as the short side of a toxic triangle in a
poisonous nuclear family that blew up every single day. (Remember
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? He's the son George and Martha
never had.) All that domestic craziness on top of Crohn's made for
a rather chaotic existence, which is reflected throughout much of
this book. But the heart of the story is about the rewards of
gradually breaking free of the past, meeting the challenges of the
present and struggling toward post-traumatic growth in the future.
That's why this book is filled with everything from insightful
observations to useful psychosocial techniques that can help almost
anyone cope with almost anything. So no matter what your challenges
may be, if the notion of truly thriving rather than simply
surviving appeals to you, read on.
