A collection of honest, intelligent, and compassionate writing about mental illness, redemption, loss, and gratitude

I don't recall the last time I read a book in one sitting but this lovely work was just right and I found myself uninterested in putting it down until it was done. It's in places a poem, a compelling story, a practical list, a kind voice, an important insight. Mental health, the painful journeys it takes us on and the ways to get back home again, are explored thoughtfully and openly here. It's rare to find a piece that is as much practical as it is poetic. - Stephen C.

These pieces reflect deep compassion and committed empathy. Incredibly moving. I read it in one sitting. -Maggie D.

The writing is full of emotion and one can feel that it's sprouting directly from the heart. -Satdeep G.

High-achieving student and athlete Jake Orlowitz never expected to wind up in a mental hospital, yet at 29 that's exactly what happened. Mental illness is not a dead end, however. It can be a powerful beginning.

Welcome to the Circle is a story of growth and healing, and the multitude of lessons learned along the way.

Mental health isn't easy to talk about, so this book creates a supportive environment to explore challenging phases of life and periods of crisis through creative essays. This book can help people on their personal journeys of illness and recovery. This book can help people whose loved ones are struggling. This book can deepen compassion and acceptance for how mental illness can interrupt lives, but doesn't have to be their defining tragedy.

Readers can dive into the essays, sit down with the poems, tick through the lists, and dig into the guides. They will add insight, understanding, empathy, and practical knowledge to complex struggles and hopeful journeys.

These journeys don't have an end-point. They're conversations that span a lifetime, and even generations. To heal and to grow, we need to pull up our chairs, sit down, speak our stories, and listen to the people around us.
