In this episode 238, guest memoirist Rachael Brooks leads the interview with Hope Andersen, author of “How to Remodel a Life: A Guide to Living Well with Alcoholism and Bipolar Disorder,” a memoir and self-help guide for those struggling with addiction and mental health issues.

Using a house remodel as a metaphor, Hope provides the necessary tools and life lessons to uplift spirits while speaking candidly about her own life.

Michael D. Lemonick, author of The Perpetual Now, had this to say about the book, “If you are going to rehab a house that has fallen into disrepair, you obviously need the proper tools. If you're going to repair a life overshadowed by addiction and mental illness, you need tools too - but you can't exactly run down to the local hardware store to find them. What you can do, however, is read this intimate, powerful and uplifting book. Hope Andersen has transformed her own, very challenging life into what she calls 'an oasis of serenity' and she's used the lessons she has learned to create not just one, but a series of toolkits that could do the same for you. It's a remarkable achievement.”
