The Art of Well-Being

Most people know Joe Pantoliano from The Sopranos, The
Matrix, The Goonies, Risky Business, Memento, and The Fugitive.

But before he became one of Hollywood’s most successful
character actors, he was “Joey Pants” from Hoboken, the son of a fiercely
controlling schizophrenic mother. Growing up, Joe always knew something was
different with him, too. “It was as if I was born with a huge hole inside of
me,” he writes. Not until much later in life was Joe diagnosed with clinical
depression. Now he has a message for the millions of people who suffer from
mental illness and for the friends and family who care for them: You are not
alone.
