Description
Join Melissa Bernstein, Co-Founder of the wildly successful toy company Melissa & Doug, on a journey to triumph over anxiety, depression, and despair—a story she hopes will help others find their path to meaning and inner peace. Now, more than ever, Melissa’s message is needed by others, and her promise to all who journey with her is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Who would ever guess that Melissa Bernstein, happily-married mother of 6, creator of over 5,000 toys which have sold over a billion dollars, begins many days the same way far too many others do, wondering if she’ll make it to tomorrow? Melissa shows us that when darkness descends, and it seems there’s no escape, there actually is a way out, there actually is hope, and there actually is a path that can lead to meaning and purpose.
Melissa takes us on her path through depression, revealing how her “lifelines” transformed despair into a beacon of hope. Filled with prose, gorgeous photography, and many of Melissa’s verses that express her struggles and breakthroughs, LifeLines is committed to helping others who are “stuck” develop a plan for themselves to survive and thrive.
A book of struggle and salvation, connection and community, LifeLines is a framework for people seeking to understand their emotional lives and to develop their own path to self-discovery and inner transformation.

Melissa Bernstein has given a heart gift to everyone who reads this book. The beauty of it is that the journey will be different for each seeker. It will be personal and often familiar. The prose, photographs and poems are thought provoking. They reveal, touch and find the secret compartments of ones soul. The realization that you and I are not alone makes this path we walk with Melissa magical.
A successful wife, mother and founder of toy company Melissa & Doug, she has turned her moments of darkness into life-affirming light. Her mission, her desire to selflessly share her story makes us learn about who we are as we discover our own lifelines.
I know that I will reach for this book often and find warmth, comfort and a positive thought.
I love this book and highly recommend it.
Many thanks to NetGalley, LifeLines, LLC and Melissa Bernstein for an ARC in exchange for an honest book review.

Wow, wow. Really brave book, really soul-searching for Melissa. What courage and strength she shows us - as an example - to be honest. To not be afraid. People cannot help address or fix or work on what they don't know. I loved Melissa's honesty and approach to her issues and for knowing she needed help. This is a beautiful book for those of us that need help and healing, those that do help and heal and the rest of the population that just needs to be aware of the human condition.
