Building a Life Worth Living: A Memoir

Marsha Linehan's remarkable memoir tells the story of her journey from suicidal teenager to world-renowned developer of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Through her own struggle, she developed life skills for others and saved countless lives with DBT.

This book is a victory on both sides of the page, offering hope and inspiration to those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts.

Linehan's vow to help others after escaping emotional hell led her to put herself through night school and college, earning her PhD in psychology and developing DBT.

With mindfulness and original life-skill techniques, DBT combines acceptance of the self with ways to change, providing a therapeutic approach that has achieved a breakthrough in treating mental health issues.
