Averill, Harry. (author of Hungry to be happy)

Hungry to be happy : how I lost and found my mind / Harry Averill. - New Zealand. 2022 - 267 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm

"As a fourteen-year-old psych ward patient, Harry realised he had a choice: let anorexia keep ruining his life or fight back against everything his mind told him was true. Now twenty-two years old, Harry delicately pieces together how his mind derailed to that point, what's happened since he made his choice, and most importantly, what it's taught him about life and how best to live it. Hungry to Be Happy is a story of survival against all odds, redemption from the depths of despair, and triumph over the most dangerous of bullies. By reclaiming the space between his ears, Harry rediscovers what matters most, and through doing so, he experiences what anorexia always promised but could never deliver - happiness" --Back cover.
