In Pursuit of Calm (Paperback)

In this debut memoir by psychologist Daniel Fuselier, we travel with him on his unique road from jail to NASA and from addiction to recovery and back again to recovery as he takes us on a journey across the country from the bayous of Louisiana to the coasts of California. Navigating his own ups and downs with alcohol and drug addiction and facing numerous personal challenges along the way, Daniel faces ghosts from his past while trying to reconcile what they might mean for his future. From a childhood spent witnessing his own father's destructive habits, to struggling to define himself through a series of relationships and jobs, through trial and error, Daniel finally finds his own niche as a licensed psychologist. It is there that he finds his passion and a place to finally belong. But even the happiest of endings don't always stick, and Daniel comes to remember what he's always known: addiction is a lifelong ghost. Witness his brutal honesty as he shares his life in this revealing and brave memoir.
