Now in paperback with updated photos and additional interviews, "The Harder They Fall" reveals the intimate thoughts, feelings, regrets, and beliefs of celebrities in recovery. Among those profiled are comedian Richard Pryor, musicians Grace Slick, Dr. John, and Chuck Negron, actors Malcolm McDowell and Mariette Hartley, and athletes Dock Ellis and Gerry Cooney. Addiction devoured their pride and accomplishments until each found the courage to ask for help, the honesty to face their disease, and the strength - ultimately - to rebuild a life of extraordinary success. Here, legendary Los Angeles publicist Gary Stromberg gives readers an up-close look at fame and addiction, as told by the stars themselves. These are stories of greatness rebuilt - one day at a time.Its paperback format makes this already popular book even more accessible. The real-life stories offer encouragement about recovering from addiction. This book complements the authors' recent release about recovery from eating disorders, "Feeding the Fame".
