Carl Radke’s path from reality TV’s party-loving star to a life centered around recovery has been anything but straightforward. Famous for his role on Summer House, Carl’s journey in the spotlight has forced him to confront personal battles under public scrutiny. Beyond the cameras, he’s faced struggles with addiction, the weight of toxic masculinity, the heartbreaking loss of his brother, and a quest to find real joy in a world that equates fun with alcohol.
In this candid memoir, Carl opens up about a side of his life few have seen. With unfiltered honesty, he takes readers through the highs and lows, from career shifts and family dynamics to finding peace in his recovery. Each chapter dives into the hard-earned lessons he’s gathered, proving that life can be fulfilling—even without a drink. His story shows that fun and authenticity aren’t only compatible with sobriety; they can thrive because of it.
Whether processing grief, navigating sober relationships, or confronting the public’s perceptions, Carl’s journey is one of resilience, growth, and self-discovery. Through vulnerability and humor, Carl redefines “fun,” reminding readers that the most meaningful transformations come from within.

ABOUT THE BOOK
We are amid a mental health crisis--addiction, overdoses, depression, suicide attempts, and deaths are all on the rise. The explosion of virtual therapy platforms indicates that more people are reaching out for help. This is fantastic; however, according to the American Association of Addiction Medicine, only one out of every ten people who have addictions reach out for treatment.
This begs the question: Why is treatment and recovery illusive for so many? There are several reasons, including limited financial resources, lack of understanding of insurance benefits, and the stigma associated with addiction and cultural implications. Another reason is fear--fear of the unknown, fear of facing one's inner demons, and fear of the treatment process itself. Although treatment centers have been in existence since the 1930s, the therapeutic process remains shrouded in mystery. There is no playbook to guide and understand the process of treatment. It's time to pull back the curtain and provide those struggling with addiction the practical tools and steps to guide them through the process of finding care. Within the pages of The Rehab Playbook, readers will find practical advice and tools on how to thrive in treatment and experience the joy of recovery from the grips of addiction.

ABOUT THE BOOK
With their towering, cinnamon-colored trunks and dusky green canopies, ponderosa pine has long been a charismatic icon of the American West. Yet a quiet unraveling has begun: in the past decade, in a vast area from Santa Fe to the Sierras, more than two hundred million ponderosa have died. While some trees will survive in cooler places, scientists estimate that by mid-century less than five percent of the ponderosa in the American Southwest may remain. As the very character of this vast region shifts, what will be left behind? And how can we come to terms with such profound loss?
In The Twilight Forest, Gary Ferguson brings readers on an expansive journey through the ponderosa forests of the Southwest both to mourn—and to celebrate—the forests that nurtured him. In warm and luminous storytelling, Ferguson weaves together the human and natural history of ponderosa, from its march across the West more than 10,000 years ago, to centuries of artists inspired by its dazzling stature and shady passageways. Both wildfire and climate change are constant presences on this journey. Fire is necessary for healthy forests but has turned deadly, while climate change stresses even the hardiest beings of the natural world. Yet the story of ponderosa reminds us that loss can be a gateway to connection—to nature and each other.
While it is tempting to hide from the changes around us, Ferguson offers a healing approach: “to pick even one of these thousand doors of loss, pull it open and walk through.” The resulting journey is a life-affirming tribute to one of America’s most cherished wild landscapes.
