Leonard McClane
Description
“… At last, a self-help book that actually helps! It meets you wherever you are in your struggle, whether you're bed-ridden or feel like you're at the
...
very end of your rope and plots a digestible, useful course back from the edge! It looks to the art around us and uses it as therapy, taking lessons from culture and applying them to the difficulties of life and health.”
- Daniel Ellis.
"... The hard work has been done by [McClane]. The ladder he talks about passing back down is now with us - we all know someone in our life who is struggling. It's our job to buy a copy of this truly brilliant book for them and get it into their hands. [McClane's] children he speaks so lovingly of here should be proud knowing their dad's book WILL save lives!"
- James Grant.
"... Absolutely heartbreaking and inspiring stuff in equal measures. And it's funny too. Very funny. You find yourself laughing through your tears. You won't be short of a film recommendation for a while as well."
- Robert Gottlieb.
What if mental health impactors like depression, stress, anxiety and the like are never able to actually be ‘cured’? What if they are simply meant to be controlled? And what if there was a ‘been there, done it, got the t-shirt’ film geek who could hand you the manual as to how to do that?
Leonard McClane is that geek and The Yippee Ki-Yay Principle is that manual.
Using movies, music and memories as its core foundations, McClane presents a very unique twist on the traditional approach to tackling mental health struggles we all face. It’s part self-help book, part movie guide and part memoir from the perspective of someone who’s lived, survived, and endured through it and is talking to you from a first-hand standpoint and not that of a medical professional, using the major motion picture Die Hard as your guiding light towards feeling better about yourself and your life.
Yes, Die Hard.
You might think you’ve done the whole therapy thing, or you’ve tried setting personal goals and reading self-help books but maybe you’ve not tried them this way before?
