We all experience challenges in life. For some, it’s difficult to express their feelings and so they mask their hidden pain with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, isolation, or even violence. Matthew Quick understands that pain. Matthew experienced a “dark night of the soul” after using alcohol and drugs to treat his extreme anxiety and depression. He got sober in 2018, only to experience five years of crippling writer’s block. Matthew talks about how he healed and what he learned. Matthew is the New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook, which was made into an Oscar-winning film. His other books include, The Good Luck of Right Now, Love May Fail and The Reason You’re Alive. The Hollywood Reporter has named Matthew one of Hollywood’s 25 Most Powerful Authors. His new book is, We Are the Light.
