Episode 91: Matthew Quick

About this episode

My talk with Silver Linings Playbook author Matthew Quick , discussing his poignant memoir, Dad, Love, Me . We covered, (1) his effort to end the cycle of generational abuse by caring for his father who now has dementia, (2) how trauma served as both a blessing and a curse, fueling a creative outpouring that carried Matthew to global fame, but also driving him to alcoholism, and (3) how true forgiveness is not a one-and-done conversation, but a lifelong, daily practice.
