Playing Tag on the Roof

Recovering from a Narcissistic Family Through Love and Psychedelics

De: Michael DiIanni Madera

Narrado por: Michael DiIanni Madera

Why do we do what we do?

• Why did Michael and his three brothers play tag on the roof of their three-story house as kids?
• Why did their mother leave the family and end up a Buddhist nun?
• Why did their father abandon his successful investment methods, become a con man and end up in prison three times?

One part gripping memoir, one part psychology primer, and one part self-help manual, this book draws you into Michael’s turbulent evolution. Then it helps you explore your own reactions to lessons learned as he struggled for balance and healthy relationships.
As a psychologist, Michael reveals how theory, therapy, and psychedelics helped him find answers, and as a songwriter he animates the stories with lyrics and recordings of original songs written along the way, through a linked online platform.

Riveting story and self-healing process for navigating life

Michael uses his gift of story telling to reveal, from his own riveting experiences, the process of healing, self-discovery and growth. By weaving story, psychological models and metaphor, he uses the house to map out stages of our own hero’s journey. He deftly incorporates a progression of psychological mindsets, punctuated with self-inquiry prompts. I found it both fascinating and enjoyable to listen to, and I gained some powerful insights that are helpful to my own awakening journey.
