Description

From the outside and on paper, Sierra Phoenix has the perfect, envious life: grew up in sunny southern California; was high school valedictorian; graduated from Yale University; established a career in a unique niche; has such an active outdoors life that she was a finalist for an "adventure female motorcyclist of the year" gear sponsorship. Men find her beautiful. But what most people do not know is that for over a decade, starting in college, she has had depression with pain so intense that suicide is an ever-present thought that accompanies her into even the most incredible life experiences. Her efforts at fighting depression have been vast and relentless, including trying to identify the trigger of her first depression, and the ultimate source. She has been unsuccessful - until now. Articulate and insightful, Sierra guides us through her biographical landscape of mental illness punctuated with life-fulfilling adventures, along the route that helped her literally map out her depression to ultimately identify the cause, the whys behind her behavior. She discusses the larger social issues and topics within depression and mental health, and presents challenging considerations. Raw, tormenting, courageous and inspiring is Sierra's process of unlocking her depression, of unlearning - to becoming free.
