What if the novel you wrote went on to become a movie, and not just any movie, one that was nominated for a total of 91 awards and won an Academy Award?

Silver Linings Playbook author, Matthew Quick went to the Oscars that year and understood that he was breathing rare air, that he’d achieved something that few other authors would ever achieve.

But what would you do if while everything looked amazing on the outside, you were quietly dying on the inside, entering a dark period of your life, where quite frankly, felt like it might be the end? Would you hide out at home and submit to the darkness? Or would you listen to the podcast your wife recommended and begin a journey that proved to be the much-needed balm for your soul?
