Ryan J. McCarthy

Meet the author

Ryan J. McCarthy is an author writing from lived experience with fear, self-sabotage, surrender, and the daily work of getting out of his own way. His work is spiritual without being religious, rooted in the belief that people are not guilty for the sickness they do not understand, but they are responsible for what they do once the truth has been shown to them. He writes for people trapped inside shame, destructive thinking, and the private war no one else can see—not to impress them, but to reach them before the dark gets both hands on them. McCarthy recently moved to New York, where he continues to practice the same work this book points toward: telling the truth, asking for help, staying close to people who know the road, and turning pain into something useful.
