Journey into Self: a Psychological Autobiography James Joseph Blaha III

The author of this book chronicles his life dealing with many mental diagnosises. At the age of 22 he had a serious episode of depression. He went on to have 6 (total) episodes over the course of his life. These episodes were going on after being with Westinghouse for 25 years and continued after that in the merger acquisition banking business. Despite this he went to college, and eventually obtained an MBA/Management degree. His goal is to show that anyone with a mental diagnosis can be "happy, healthy, wise and responsibly wealthy." He teamed up with a friend who became a "ghost writer "and together they developed a working relationship to write this story. It took many phone calls, emails, hard work and early morning rewrites to complete the final manuscript.
