Book TV: Norah Vincent "Voluntary Madness"

Norah Vincent recounts her time in three mental institutions following the research for her prior book, Self-Made Man, in which she assumed the role of a man for eighteen months. Ms. Vincent relays her attempts to become healthy and explores the current state of the mental health industry as she presents the disparate care she received from one facility to the next. This event was hosted by Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.

Every woman should read SELF-MADE MAN by Norah. Her articulation of the "male experience" is not only brilliant, but honest and gripping. Men don't have it as easy as women think.
