His whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world-- only they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they had not signed up for. Here he shares his journey of self-knowledge, telling how he mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. -- adapted from jacket ER -
