Beautifully Dysfunctional
Some lives are lived quietly. Troy Haslinger's was not. Beautifully Dysfunctional is a raw, unfiltered account of a man who has stared death in the face more times than most people face real adversity in a lifetime, and somehow still found reasons to laugh.
From battling cancer to surviving spinal meningitis, from drinking himself into oblivion to running ultra-marathons, from walking down the aisle three times to losing an eye, Troy's story is not a tale of perfect redemption. It is something far more honest.
This book does not offer a tidy moral lesson. What it offers is the truth, messy, contradictory, occasionally absurd, and oddly beautiful. The kind of truth that only comes from someone who has genuinely lived it.
Troy Haslinger
“I never set out to write a book. I set out to survive. The book was just what was left over.”
Troy Haslinger is not the kind of man you read about and think, that could never be me. He has been a husband, a charity founder, an ultra-marathon runner, a patient again and again.
He started a charity and was fired from it. He married three women with complete sincerity. He lost an eye and gained a perspective most never get.
Troy now channels that relentless energy into sharing the story he spent a lifetime earning. Beautifully Dysfunctional is his first book.
