Being

This book was inspired by my own lived experience with severe depression, anxiety, physical and emotional abuse, addiction, and trauma.

I have been in group with Larry. I've seen him grow in his recovery through trying to help others but I noticed a substantial change when he opened up about his childhood. I think his recovery actually started with the writing of his book. Super Human Being. He opened up and shared some very difficult trauma in his life and I feel honored to be part of that journey. He has helped my recovery more than I can explain. God works through people I feel and he put me in Larrys life for a reason.

As he successfully learns the dynamics of healing from his childhood abuse, Larry Winter passes that wisdom along for the benefit of his reading audience. Superhuman Being is a valuable resource for those damaged by the malignance of familial abuse.

As a physician I found L.J. Winter’s book SuperHuman Being, Be Bold, Be Imperfect, Be present and Recover, to be a well written documentary of one man’s struggle through mental illness and his road to recovery. This book is a must read for anyone suffering from a mental disorder. Larry’s thoughts should lend a helping hand to anyone, young or old, suffering from depression or any of the many mental challenges.

Being a mental health professional for more than two decades, L. J. has not only had the practical experience to shed light on how one might manage depression, anxiety, bipolar, addiction, trauma, and other mental health conditions but also shares his own recovery journey and his commitment to stay on a path of recovery. The stigma that having a mental health condition can bring someone can feel isolating and making it difficult to seek help and connections to others that we need in order to grow and transform. L. J. helps us know that we are not alone and that there is a way to be a SuperHuman Being—even though we feel imperfect. .

Mr. Winters demonstrates with this book that one need not suffer a chronic mental illness for a lifetime but can not only recover from its devastating effects, but, in so doing, also show others how to live well-adjusted and satisfying lives.
