@thor Your initial description was _i’ve just had to carry myself by my bootstraps_ which points to a greater resiliency. What you write later on indeed indicates that it was (is?) an extremely bumpy ride, so I take back what I said. Anyhow, I recommend the book wholeheartedly. It gives solid understanding of what is going on in lives of many people around and provides a solid scientific conceptual structure around it. And it's not a hogwash handwaving. The author is not a psychologist and does not dabble in psychology. It is solid medicine, biology/biochemistry and loads and loads of empirical research.
