Beautifully Dysfunctional
Some people spend their lives avoiding chaos. Troy Haslinger seemed to run straight into it. Beautifully Dysfunctional is a brutally honest account of survival, addiction, loss, mental health struggles, and the long process of rebuilding after life falls apart more than once.
Battling addiction, surviving spinal meningitis, struggling with addiction and self-destruction, running ultra-marathons, navigating broken relationships, and rebuilding himself piece by piece, Troy’s story has never followed a simple path. It is messy, painful, chaotic, and brutally honest.
This is not a story about perfection.
It is a story about surviving it all anyway.
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.
