Description
Epic Tiny Victories is the true story of Colin Ryan's unlikely journey from an anxious, asthmatic kid with depression to a national speaker, comedian, and storyteller who has made more than one million people laugh, learn, and feel less alone-all while managing Bipolar 2, OCD, and ADHD.
Part comedic memoir, part survival guide, and part love letter to anyone who's ever felt like they're barely holding it together, Colin blends laugh-out-loud moments with raw honesty about navigating depression and anxiety, building confidence, and embracing the messy art of creating a life you can be proud of.
From impostor syndrome on a jumbotron and accidental movie stardom to admitting secrets out loud to millions, Epic Tiny Victories reminds us that mental health stories don't have to be depressing . . . they can be hilarious, hopeful, and exactly what we need to hear.
This book is packed with humor, encouragement, and tools that genuinely work. Best of all, it's proof that you don't need to be fearless to live fully-because sometimes, just getting out of bed is the bravest thing of all.
"Hilarious, moving, and incredibly relatable." Raya Noreault, Clinical Mental Health Counselor
"I've never heard such a clear narrative about how a person suffering from depression climbs their way out." Mark Nash, Psychotherapist
