Sample Book Insights:

#1 Tony had just finished a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Utah named Cirque Lodge. It was a celebrity facility, and he would have been treated there anyway, but the prices were typically higher for clients who couldn’t afford it.

#2 Tony began acting strangely at Zappos, his company, in 2020. He was talking a lot about outlandish ideas and plans all the time. His friends began to worry and thought he was taking ketamine, a drug used medically as an anesthetic that can cause hallucinations.

#3 The party was one of the incidents that convinced Tony's friends he might need help. They began to discuss rehab, but careful framing was required to persuade him. Some of his friends came on too strong, and told him that he was an addict or had a problem.

#4 Tony went to the Cirque Lodge program in Utah, which was a perfect match for him. It was a traditional program, but they also used experiential therapies to get clients distracted. On day thirteen, he left. Though there was a small front desk, there was no security. Clients could leave at any time.
