How good are you at recognizing fear?
Is that gang banger who said, "What the hell are you looking at?" really such a badass, or is he just frightened of looking weak, which in his world makes him the next logical victim? Is that neighbor who always volunteers to help really that nice, or is he just afraid that if he says no he'll be perceived as an unworthy soul on judgment day? Is that woman really that wild in bed, or is she afraid that if she denies her boyfriends twisted request, she'll be unworthy of being loved?
I don't know about you, but for most of my life, I would have identified these three as a teenage punk, a nice guy, and a whore.
The problem was that I didn't have compassion for other people because I'd been too busy judging them on their outward behavior. I couldn't accept what they did because, unlike them, I didn't let my personal problems effect me. I was like a modern-day knight: honorable, respectful, and kind, yet tough enough to be named SWAT team leader.
But then, on a dating website, I met a petite, bleached-blond, Harley riding psychiatrist, and everything changed. In just a few short years, she would lead me to question not only my kindness and grit, but everything I knew to be true about myself and the man I'd become.
Told with unflinching honesty, raw humility, and a healthy dose of hilarity, Married to a Psychiatrist follows Dan's inspiring journey as his wife provides insights into his actions and behaviors that will challenge his perceptions, shatter his idyllic self-image, and open his heart to seeing the world in an entirely new way.
