Could reaching rock bottom enable one to reach new heights? Does a breakdown leave a reward in the form of increased creative capacity? In Epic Comebacks, journalist and author Catriona Ross explores the process of burnout and renewal as a possible contributor to major creative works. The essay features a classical composer, poet, band and contemporary sculptor as case studies, and commentary from UK-based psychologist and burnout expert Dr Dina Glouberman. "Very deep, thought-provoking treatise about art, personal growth, historical figures, recovery.... Very well written... a lot of great info on famous and not-so-famous artists, musicians, writers, etc. And how painful experiences can inspire ultimate personal victories. Evolves from highbrow to pop culture seamlessly. Very impressive" – Comment by a reader/reviewer for the Bellevue Literary Review, New York
