Hope & Heroes

Hope & Heroes touched me deeply. This remarkable book serves up a mixed broth of champions - from celebrities to ordinary people - achieving the extraordinary at home, in the community, and on the world stage. Barry's on-location camera and sympathetic interviews help us to connect with our own highest selves, and illustrate how we also might personally take up the challenge to make a difference. These profiles will inspire you to be all that you can be - in a world that desperately needs you to be just that.

This is a masterful work in the art of photography, and the science of wisdom. The pictures are telling, moving, and fascinating. The writings are substantive, inspiring, and purposeful. You'll thoroughly enjoy this book!

Barry's own brave journey of recovery from mental illness provides a rare and humane lens through which to view many valuable perspectives on life's journey, adversity, balance and hope. Each portrait and biography reflects in some way Barry's own struggle, the set backs and successes which really led to his undertaking this project. We all need hope and heroes. Read and experience this book. It will be good for your mental health.
