Mental illness sucks. But Richard Keller isn't here to wallow—he's here to tell the truth, crack a few jokes, and shine a glimmer of light on what it means to fall apart at 51 and still find your way forward.
In this brutally honest and darkly funny memoir, Richard recounts his nervous breakdown, bipolar diagnosis, and recovery—all while navigating divorce, unemployment, homelessness, identity crises, and the questionable comfort of hospital-issued slipper socks.
Blending raw vulnerability with wit and reflection, Faith and Slipper Socks explores:
- Life before and after a late bipolar diagnosis
- The realities of mental health treatment (without sugarcoating)
- Masculinity, pride, and the long-overdue process of asking for help
- What it means to accept and live with your neurodivergence
Whether you're living with a mental health condition or supporting someone who is, Richard's story offers honesty, hope, and a reminder that recovery isn't linear, but it's possible.
A must-read for fans of memoirs by Jenny Lawson, Matt Haig, or Augusten Burroughs.
