The Safe Word is PINEAPPLE!: Mayor to Manic - My Journey Through Crazy - Paperback
Description
by Gerry Taft (Author)
A creepy club. A sketchy fast food restaurant. Ultra wealth and urban poverty. A weird night during a political conference in Vancouver turns author Gerry Taft's life-and mind-inside out.
Believing he's about to die, with visions of good and evil conspiring around him, Gerry writes a contract to extend his life. He navigates this sudden psychosis and paranoia by posting about it on social media in real time-and running down the street with his daughter. The Safe Word Is PINEAPPLE! is the true story of an epic meltdown with real world consequences and important lessons.
Part memoir, part social commentary, Gerry uses his lived experience as a framework to discuss-and offer solutions to-the many failings in our society. The Safe Word Is PINEAPPLE! is a call to embrace shared values, have honest conversations, increase personal power, and decrease the pull of polarization.
Proceeds from the book will be directed to increase capacity for mental health supports in rural communities-especially Invermere.
