David's book, "The Mentally Ill Mentor" is inspirational. David is at his core, an optimist, who speaks from an authentic place about his struggles with mental illness and his resolve to work through his issues. This book is about his journey toward mental wellness with principles that he would like to share with other people giving practical advice of things that worked for him with stories and ideas that are not only practical, doable and creative but sometimes humorous. His material is very readable and a lot of his advice is laced with wisdom. I am happy to recommend this book without reservation.
