Assessment:

Idea/Concept: Condemning pharmaceutical approaches in handling depression, this practical guide to self-healing presents a commendable alternative to traditional medicine. With a strong case against accepted notions about treating sadness and despondency with drugs, the book adheres to a do-it-yourself plan of action to recover from what ails you.

Prose: Gentle, candid, and easy to absorb, much like meeting an acquaintance at a café for free-flowing conversation, then a bit of structured advice, the articulate manner in which the information is conveyed may be the book’s winning attribute. A remarkable personality emerges in a considerate mode of expression.

Originality: Depression is a popular topic, leading to the publication of countless self-help titles on the subject, each with a different angle. Every proposed strategy in dealing with such a complex and distinctly individual experience will fortify some but leave others floundering, yet this title does provide assistance comparable to its market competition, emphasizing the importance of not merely treating the symptoms.

Execution: An empathetic and knowledgeable doctor reaches out from the pages of this heartfelt text, approachable and friendly. His worthwhile common sense is a gem in the psychiatric profession….

As Tony Mandarich left Green Bay in February, 1993,
his football career in shambles, Packer Plus staff
writer, Tom Mulhern, wrote the following:

"The overriding sentiment, however, is one of emptiness. Not so
much for promises unfulfilled, but for sins not repented.
Maybe some day Mandarich will set the record straight
and answer all the nagging questions he leaves behind.
I hope so."


For all the sports writers, fans, coaches, friends and family,
My Dirty Little Secrets sets the record straight. On the
20th anniversary of his draft in 1989, Tony reveals
the reasons why he never achieved what the nation expected of
him, and what he expected of himself. His story is an
inspiration for alcoholics and drug abusers, and offers
hope for those trying to help themselves out of the nightmare
of addiction.


My Dirty Little Secrets promises to help readers
  • Learn about the power of addiction
  • Discover how co-dependency and enablers affect addicts
  • Understand why treatment for addictions is so important in recovery
  • Realize the importance of emotional suppot systems in the lives of alcoholics
  • Accept the role of the Higher Power's grace in recovery



    "My Dirty Little Secrets is a testament that faith in a higher
    power can bring us to salvation and light. Tony's story is
    touched by magic and brushes against the tragic. It's
    a great human journey and a victory for the human spirit."

    --Jim Irsay, Owner, Indianapolis Colts, Super Bowl (r) XLI Champions


    After a highly successful and nationally publicized college
    career at Michigan State Unviersity, Tony Mandarich was
    drafted number two in 1989. The hype about his power and
    standing as a football player along with Tony's addictions,
    was more than he could live up to, and his life came crashing
    down around him. After three more years of alcohol and
    painkillers' abuse, Tony accepted God's hand, went into
    treatment and now considers it a privilege to be able to help
    other addicts when called upon.
