In today's episode, host Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talks about something deep and one that weighs her heart heavily. Let this be a trigger warning before you listen to this episode as it talks about suicide and touches on depression. She is joined by a New York Times bestselling author, Adam Mansbach. This episode revolves heavily around Adam's new book: I Had a Brother Once. He shares the pain of living through his brother's death and having to wear masks to get through most days.

Adam Mansbach is a novelist, screenwriter, cultural critic, and humorist. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Go the Fuck to Sleep, which has been translated into forty languages, named Time Magazine's 2011 "Thing of the Year," and sold over three million copies worldwide. The two sequels, You Have to Fucking Eat and Fuck, Now There Are Two of You are also New York Times bestsellers. The audiobooks, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, Bryan Cranston, and Larry David, are pretty fucking good as well. His memoir in verse, I Had A Brother Once, is a brilliant work about the struggle of wisdom in the face of a loss.
