“Overcomer – A Journey Through Mental Health” by Victor J Clark is a powerful mental health guide written to help the reader deal both with mental illness and the inner struggles that one might have, explain the many aspects of mental health and educate the reader about the several hidden aspects of it, directing one into discovering his own inner self.
Right in the introduction of this book, you realize that Victor J Clark is talking from deep experience on the subject, and has gone through the battle for his own mental health, through inner analysis and is fit to provide guide or direction to help others in their own journeys.
There is an interesting and much ignored, or not talked about enough, perspective when it comes to mental health, that has roots at our early age, which causes most to ignore these problems due to their inability to understand, or reflect upon them in those tender ages and live with them as if they were normal and healthy.
Poignant and straightforward phraseology is used with vigor and purpose, which lets us know that this isn’t a simple, politically correct, cookie-cutter book on self-help, something that is most welcomed to our blog.
The author doesn’t prescribe easy solutions, or one-size-fits-all advice, but lets you know what he learned, what he observed and how he dealt with the whole situation, allowing space for the reader to let itself see him or herself in the narrative, in the events and learn the lessons on the many chapters that this book presents.
There is clarity on the approach of Victor J Clark, and he quickly and skilfully captures the reader, not with miraculous promises, but with understanding and compassion.
