Synopsis

What readers are saying “Inspiring!”

Audley Enough is more than the memoir of a man with mental illness, it is an inspiring expose of the realities that encompass mental illness from the lens of a black man of Caribbean descent living in North America.

May Audley’s experiences guide you to find new understanding and sensitivity to the realities of mental illness to help you and your loved ones overcome personal challenges.

One of the great pleasures of my work in mental health as Chair of Bell Let's Talk is meeting so many passionate mental health advocates. Audley Coley is one such advocate and his book, both informative and rich in storytelling, highlights his commitment to using his experience to create positive change. It is a must-read tale full of wit, charm and hope.

Audley's story is one of resilience, suffering, hope, support and treatment in the face of a major psychiatric illness. It's also the compelling account of someone who has overcome the challenges of immigration, discrimination, disruption and despair to become a generous, creative, loving and inspiring person. This is a portrait of triumph and recovery.

Audley Enough is the compelling story of a remarkable person who triumphs over discrimination, setbacks and bipolar disorder. Sharing stories like Audley's is so important in the social movement to bring mental health out of the shadows.

Stories of recovery like Mr. Coley's are a powerful means to fight the stigma of mental illness. They are not only inspirational to those who are also struggling, but they also show others that it is possible to get better, live a full life, and most importantly, to go in pursuit of your goals and dreams and achieve them.
