Secrets for the Mad: Obsessions, Confessions, and Life Lessons Review: A Firework Of A Non-Fiction Piece! - Down to Earth and incendiary at the same time is how I would describe this book. Reading this was a lot like a firework, Dodie lit the fuze from the ground and we watched the embers creep along in a slow burn before being blasted off to the sky, able to see everything at once and take in all that beautiful bursting, shimmering, fizzing, and as we drift back down, we are the sparks and embers twinkling the sky like stardust and landing back on the ground, scattered, grateful for our journey. I've been a fan of Dodie for a while (over a few years) and as a writer myself I was incredibly excited to receive this in the mail. I rushed to the mail room listening to the song this book is named after, only to leave, skipping along in full-on musical mode to "In The Middle" because I wanted to be stuck between these pages. I returned to my room to immediately devour this book, only pausing to walk to the dining hall for dinner, eating and reading at the same time, and then once more to walk to my friend's apartment to finish this book. I read the entirety in seven hours, and I needed every minute of those seven hours, and I wish I could have a century of it. Reading this, everything in my head about my own depression and disassociation clicked, because I could relate on such a deep, personal level with every word. This book helped me understand where I am in my life, and what I need to do to move forward, and why exactly Dodie's music has been so very important to me. I'm sharing my experience with you, person reading this review, because I hope that you will pick up this book and read it and find yourself in a way that most people cannot. And even if you don't have mental illness or don't know Dodie's music, you can still read this book and understand its contents and relate it to other people in your life. There is something for everyone here, a hybrid non-fiction piece containing anecdotes, memoirs, journal entries, illustrations, song lyrics, poems, photographs, and even recipes! Each element of the book frames everything around it, and not a bit of its contents feels out of place or missing a purpose. Dodie does an incredible job setting up her topics with narratives and lyrics and can whisk you along from one thing to the next without missing a beat. It is clear that there is an extreme amount of care and process to this book, and it is absolutely worth every moment you spend with it. So please, I insist, pick up a copy, make yourself comfortable, and read. You won't regret it. :) Review: Beautiful - Got this as a gift for my friend but after reading bits of it I really want it for myself. It's beautiful designed and full of very poignant, honest, and thoughtful writing that ranges from songs followed explanations of them or experiences they were inspired by, tips on sex, cooking recipes, and little anecdotes. It both looks beautiful and is beautiful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,615,937 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7,173 in Actor & Entertainer Biographies #30,657 in Memoirs (Books) #42,998 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,127) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.8 x 7.5 inches | | Edition | Standard Edition | | ISBN-10 | 150118010X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501180101 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | November 7, 2017 | | Publisher | Atria/Keywords Press | ## Images ![Secrets for the Mad: Obsessions, Confessions, and Life Lessons - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71U-dfDHyaL.jpg) ![Secrets for the Mad: Obsessions, Confessions, and Life Lessons - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IJs4YzVpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Firework Of A Non-Fiction Piece! *by R***S on November 8, 2017* Down to Earth and incendiary at the same time is how I would describe this book.

It's beautiful designed and full of very poignant, honest, and thoughtful writing that ranges from songs followed explanations of them or experiences they were inspired by, tips on sex, cooking recipes, and little anecdotes. It both looks beautiful and is beautiful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stunning *by T***N on November 7, 2017* This is one of those books that I make it to the twentieth page out of over two hundred and I don't need to read more before I know the book will earn a special place on my shelf. Dodie, thank you. Not only is the book itself visually stunning (with the pictures, colors, drawings, visuals of all sorts), but it's honest and speaks true to not only my personal mental health struggle, but likely many other's as well. Sometimes you're teaching, sometimes you're taught, the world keeps spinning, and you survive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/49195976-secrets-for-the-mad-obsessions-confessions-and-life-lessons](https://www.desertcart.id/products/49195976-secrets-for-the-mad-obsessions-confessions-and-life-lessons) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
