Two decades after Songs About Jane, Maroon 5's original drummer
presents an unflinching examination of fame, anxiety, mental
health, and recovery In the nineties, Ryan Dusick and his friends
Adam Levine and Jesse Carmichael dreamed about making it big . . .
and against all odds, they did. This inside story recounts Maroon
5's founding and their road to becoming Grammy-winning megastars,
told through the eyes of former drummer Ryan Dusick. He takes
readers behind the scenes of the band's meteoric rise to
success-and the grueling demands that came with it-as well as his
personal struggles with anxiety and addiction after his departure
from the band. For Maroon 5, fame came with a platinum debut
record, jam sessions with Prince in his own living room, and
encounters with celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Justin
Timberlake, John Mayer, and Bono. For Dusick, stardom came to an
abrupt halt with the devastating loss of his ability to play drums
due to chronic nerve damage. Alongside Maroon 5's story of
camaraderie and pressure, Dusick interweaves his own narrative: a
decade lost to liquor and antianxiety medication, his ferocious
commitment to recovery, and his current perspective as a
professional counselor. With a candor that will speak to anyone who
has struggled with mental health, Harder to Breathe moves beyond
celebrity to examine the nature of human heartbreak and resilience,
and to buoy anyone currently facing similar challenges. Ultimately,
Harder to Breathe is a roller-coaster memoir about how making it to
the top sent Dusick to the bottom-and how he let go of the past and
embraced a new future, one breath at a time.
