Playing Tag on the Roof: Recovering from a narcissistic family through love and psychedelics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798889261803)

Why do we do what we do?

Why did Michael and his three brothers play tag on the roof of their three-story house as kids? Why did their mother leave the family and end up a Buddhist nun? Why did their father abandon his successful investment methods, become a con man and end up in prison three times?

One part gripping memoir, one part psychology primer, and one part self-help manual, this book draws you into Michael's turbulent evolution. Then it helps you explore your own reactions to lessons learned as he struggled for balance and healthy relationships.

As a psychologist, Michael reveals how theory, therapy, and psychedelics helped him find answers, and as a songwriter he animates the stories with lyrics and recordings of original songs written along the way, through a linked platform.
