About the Book

"An important and stirring reminder of the power of hope." - Kirkus Reviews

Second Wind: Stories of Hope is a concise analogy that sheds light on the remarkable journeys of 50 celebrities who faced the darkest depths of despair but found the strength to overcome their struggles. This captivating book takes you on an inspiring and heartfelt exploration of how these remarkable individuals survived suicide ideation and attempts but emerged as shining beacons of hope and success. Each has made the world a better place by enriching the lives of millions through their athletic prowess, movies, TV shows, music, or activism.

A Navy veteran and an entrepreneur, Klaas doesn't "claim to be an expert on the subject" of suicide. But, as someone who attempted suicide, he knows from firsthand experience the power of hearing the tales of other survivors and the importance of recognizing that "there is light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how hopeless and dark things may seem." This book is intended to save lives.

Most of the figures in the book, each of whom is given a brief biographical vignette-often no more than a few pages-are contemporary luminaries who range from gymnast Simone Biles and rapper Nicki Minaj to comedian Drew Carey and singer Ozzy Osbourne. There are also a few 20th-century historical figures mixed in, such as Walt Disney and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (who battled depression his entire life and attempted suicide at the age of 12). The book does an admirable job of identifying a diverse range of famous people who cross gender, racial, and generational lines. Their stories will touch your heart, ignite your soul, and remind you that no matter how dire the circumstances, a second wind always awaits us, waiting to carry us forward.

Second Wind: Stories of Hope is much more than just a collection of inspirational tales. This accessible work is designed to uplift readers and acknowledge, but not dwell on, issues related to mental health, suicide, and addiction. It serves as a guiding light for those seeking solace and inspiration in their dark moments, offering a glimmer of hope that life can be reclaimed and joy can be had once again.

With hyperlinked references for those who want to know more about the volume's entries, the book concludes with a multipage reference guide to American and international resources for those looking for help.

(Note: This book focuses on the stories of celebrities who have publicly shared their experiences with suicide and their subsequent achievements. It aims to inspire and provide hope, but seeking professional help and support is crucial if you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts.)

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to support worthy charities that encourage suicide prevention and mental health, especially those that focus on children, veterans, and the LGBTQ+ communities, subjects that are dear to the author.
