    Brian Cuban Slayed The Beast And So Can You
  

*by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013*

Addictions are beasts.  They have the power to not only interfere with living, but they have the power to take over lives, destroy lives, even take lives. Anyone who battles an addiction or any kind of obsessive and/or compulsive disorder understands the all-consuming toll it takes on that person just to survive an hour or minute, nevermind the whole day.  As Brian points out in his book, there can be more than one factor responsible for a person's demons and he does a great job explaining that.  Brian does an even better job sharing his own personal story.  He shares it in a way that makes the reader feel comfortable with the subject matter, especially if one is unfamiliar with BDD, eating disorders and drug addiction.  And if you are familiar with these demons, he makes you feel and KNOW that you are not alone.One of the most fascinating aspects of Shattered Image, is that while it tells a very painful story, it does so in a way where you find yourself chuckling at times.  I mean that in the most complimentary way.  Brian's style of writing and storytelling is so friendly, so emotionally vulnerable and connected to his readers that he has artfully lightened the burden of such a heavy subject.  I think a better way to say this is that if one is suffering with similar addictions and disorders, that person will feel less stigmatized, they will be able to identify with him and really understand that they are not alone.  By sharing with us, he lets others know that they do not have to feel shame for their suffering.  That is a gift that if Brian doesn't know he gave us - I hope he knows it now.Brian has done a wonderful service for people, especially men, suffering from not only eating disorders and drug addiction, but Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It should come as no surprise that most "body issue" problems and eating disorders tend to be looked at and talked about as problems unique to women. That is untrue. And as Brian explains and has felt himself, this makes the shame of suffering from body issues for men, perhaps even more intense.  By sharing his story, Brian has paved a road for men to know they are not alone.It takes a lot of guts to share a story about a battle with personal demons. But it is always a good thing when someone tries to help other people, like Brain has selflessly done by writing this book.  Brian was able to prove to himself that he has the strength and courage to not only fight, but gain control over his illness and by doing so, take back his life.  And now he shares his story with you, so that you know you have the strength to conquer your own demons.  It doesn't matter how long it takes, never stop fighting, never stop believing in yourself.  You aren't perfect, no one is.  But you deserve to survive. You deserve good things. Brian has proven that it is possible to love yourself, to live life - and enjoy it.

    A Real Page Turner That Evoked Many Emotions and Tugged At My Heartstrings
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2013*

Just finished reading Shattered Image and it was a quick read, but one that touched on so many emotions and sometimes connected to on a very personal level. As a mother of an addict, it brought clarity and helped me understand how an addict thinks or not think, as the case may be. As scary as it was to gain this insight, I cannot imagine having experienced what Brian lived through.  At times, the mother in me wanted to give him a tight hug and other times, it did appear that his body dysmorphic disorder was a form of narcissism, which he explained in great detail.Most men are very guarded when it comes to sharing emotions or showing them and for years, Brian was guilty of hiding his feelings.  It wasn't until he was willing to share his life experiences, that he was able to begin recovering from a lifetime of destructive behavior.  I can't even begin to imagine how much courage it took for him to share his innermost secrets with the whole world.  For that I admire him greatly and I share his hope that this book will help other addicts and those who suffer from BDD. His struggle with anorexia really touched home with me and the vision he saw in the mirror, as I suffered from an eating disorder many years ago and even at 85 lbs., I still wanted to lose just five more pounds.Most of have insecurities, whether we are willing to admit it or not and we can learn a lot from Brian's experience and courage to overcome the demons that haunted him for years and learn from his mistakes.  He describes in great detail how his life spiraled out of control in his quest to have the perfect body and to be popular amongst his peers. Many of his insecurities stemmed from his childhood and being bullied by classmates.  I highly recommend Shattered Image to everyone, especially those suffering from addiction, low self-esteem, eating disorders and to all parents of school age children.Reading the last page was bittersweet, because as much as I wanted to finish the book, I didn't want the story to end, but I do love happy endings and this one doesn't disappoint. In Brian's own words, "It's all good" and this book is absolutely wonderful.

    Honest, Informative and Moving
  

*by L***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2013*

Brian Cuban writes about his experiences with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), eating disorders, substance abuse of all kinds, abusing others and being abused, but what he is sharing is more than the sum of those parts.  He is sharing his example, his life, in what is one of the first male-centric stories of body and eating disorders.  In addition to the story, beyond the beautifully written experiences he shares, is an overarching narrative that guides the reader to a better understanding of this insidious disorder and how to approach healing from it.Cuban does a masterful job of weaving the reader into the fabric of his life story.  From his formative childhood years through his struggles as an adult, he gives us insight into the feelings and motivation behind his, at times painful and certainly destructive behavior.What Cuban does throughout his book is guide us not only through the stories of his life, the emotions he felt and subsequent attempts to sooth himself, but he also (in a very even handed and thoughtful manner) teaches about why those behaviors stemmed from mental health crisis rather than from what could be assumed to be arrogance or conceit.The narrative flows well, the points are well made and the descriptions are nuanced.  You do not find yourself mired in needless intricacies, nor do you go from event to event feeling disjointed.  Cuban draws poignant stories together with the thread that BDD is often recognized only after a culmination of many life events that contribute to this expression of an already fragile state of mind - a tortured state of being.For those who have been looking for a book that shares the pain of BDD from the male perspective or the struggles that men have with body image and eating disorders, this is the book you need to read.
