About this listen
A vital and triumphant story of perseverance and recovery by one of Canada’s foremost advocates for mental health
When Mark Henick was a teenager in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, he was overwhelmed by depression and anxiety that led to a series of increasingly dangerous suicide attempts. One night, he climbed onto a bridge over an overpass and stood in the wind, clinging to a girder. Someone shouted, “Jump, you coward!” Another man, a stranger in a brown coat, talked to him quietly, calmly and with deep empathy. Just as Henick’s feet touched open air, the man in the brown coat encircled his chest and pulled him to safety. This near-death experience changed Henick’s life forever.
So-Called Normal is Henick’s memoir about growing up in a broken home and the events that led to that fateful night on the bridge. It is a vivid and personal account of the mental health challenges he experienced in childhood and his subsequent journey toward healing and recovery.

Simply Phenomenal
I’ve been a fan of the author for years after seeing his TedX talk and this book met and exceeded all of my expectations. It felt to personal and relatable. There is no other way to say this; “So-Called Normal” is a must read.

Hard to put down.
Very worth the read/listen to. You will cry, laugh and at times be shocked with what Mark had to endure growing up. Thank you Mark for sharing your story. It needed to be told.
