About Brad's Memoir:
This powerful memoir shares an adventure journalist’s story of a decade-long, round-the-world quest to overcome his drug addiction and to understand and heal from past traumas.
Suffering from PTSD and severe depression from past trauma, battling an addiction to overprescribed psychiatric medication, and at the rock bottom of his career, journalist Brad Wetzler had nowhere to go. So he set out on a journey to wander and hopefully find himself-and the world-again.
Into the Soul of the World is Wetzler’s thrilling, impactful, and heartrending memoir of healing-physically, emotionally, and spiritually. An adventure journalist at heart, Wetzler mixes travelogue with empowering insights about his inner journey to better care for his own mental health. Journey with him as he travels across Israel and the West Bank, before moving on to India, a candle-lit cave on a mountaintop in the Himalayan foothills, and a life-changing encounter with a 100-year-old yogi.
Wetzler's writing is full of the poignant, amusing, and occasionally heart‑breaking situations that unfold when we finally decide to confront depression (or any mental health struggle) and declare ourselves ready to heal: How do we heal our past and thrive again? What does it mean to live a good life? How can we transform our suffering and serve others? His answer: live to tell the story and find the humility and courage to be the best human you can be.

I appreciate you sharing this! Thanks sir!
Great video! Just discovered you and subscribed. I want to write a memoir, so here I am! Thank you
Excellent information! As good as any of the Masterclass classes I’ve done on writing.
Wow!!! Youre Talking about stories others tell about us and its hitting home!!! I’ve had deep revelations about the subject… And what you just said… Usually, it’s the most sensitive person in the family who takes on their projections…Wow!!! This is powerful… And this one thing that you have brought to light right now… Which I have, as I said, had deep revelations about I feel like I need to bring more of this piece out in my memoir… Because it created the person that I was during that season!!! Thank you so much!!!
🌄🌅
Thank you.
Your UA-cam channel and video content are very good. Also, the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: Your UA-cam videos are not properly SEO. UA-cam video SEO score is very low. Not title - description - tag are SEO friendly Not sharing on social media platforms and your UA-cam channel is a lot of trouble As a result views, likes, comments and subscribers are not increasing.
You are walking along a trail that looks like one I walk on all the time. (Boulder Res.) Enjoyed your video and message of how the story may emerge non-linearly. Thanks!
Boulder people stink.
I was on here looking for Kathy O'brien's book on writing through ptsd. I was writing my health offer, working on it from a book I been trying to write. I build an AI Assistant to help me. My journey has so many deep dark valleys. Two months ago I was chewing at the low spots kind of prioritizing the lowest spots and how to tie it all together. Next thing you know my chest tightens up, I hear a shreck inside, I crawled inside my self, been two months, longest I've been without shaving in decades. Longing, is a good one. Belonging is one for me. There is a book, Lost Connections by Hari. Nice to meet you.
Thank you, Bob.
I have a story... kinda little apprehensive in getting it out in some ways. You know the typical abuse, lies, traumas. Actually two types of fears stopping is pretty much where I'm at... fear of the establishment, and fear of people thinking I'm some kind of wake job. It's been a long interesting ride. Finding self, and staying alive in a techno-monic terra forming, transhumanistic messed up world, while keeping some compassion.
I was looking for a cost of the class?
Does the voice of experience have to go at the end of a scene? Is there a way to sprinkle it into the scene?
I’m interested…but can’t find info about the retreat. 0:04
found it!

Interesting, love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Blessing to you.
Thank you Staycurious!
Thanks, Brad. I'm about two months into writing my memoir. Your message here is helpful and answers some questions I've been having about this topic, mainly about how much background to share...
Hi Satya, Thank you for your comment and support. I'm sending you best wishes on writing your memoir!
Amazing stuff, Brad! Much love
Thanks Eddie! Right back at you. 💙
Our brains are wired for story - I love that. You make it seem and sound so easy!
Hi Eileen, Great to see you here! I hope your book is getting read and changing lives!
Brad thank you so much for saying procrastination is a norm for many writers. It lifts a lot of self-criticism! I'm great at planning - I have a huge storyboard with the 10 chapters and post it notes for each of the 48 scenes that shape my memoir. I've now written half of my memoir (I won't tell you how long that has taken me). However, I have recently started using 2 similar strategies to those you offer here. And they are beginning to work for me. In the past, I think I overwhelmed myself with the grand plans for the day. Now, I do find focusing on what you call, "the next right thing" (love your addition of "right") truly helps. Choosing something small to get me to sit down and start writing is magical. I also like your, "aim for 80%." I call that "don't worry it's just a draft." Once I start I can easily keep going for hours. Thanks again.
Hi Audrey, I'm glad the video helped some! Absolutely, every writer I know procrastinates. It's just being human to procrastinate. AND--we can do this hard work with a combination of self-compassion and gentle nudging ourselves to ego the next right thing... over and over. The older I get the less I believe in those "habits" self-help books. I believe we emerge naturally from underneath our doubts when we stop being a strict task master to ourselves. At the same time, we can't always let ourselves off the hook! This might sound woo-woo, but we creatives need "motherly" self-kindness and "fatherly" self-encouragement and self-nudging to do the hard things.
This was an amazing and inspiring presentation…and I have listened to many. It revamped my concept of my travel writing and academic writing. Thank you!
Hi Jon, I'm glad the video was helpful!
👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for your support, Bobby!
Brilliant explanation
Many thanks!
You know all about what i am trying to write. Can i send you my memoirs? Its only 7 pages long right now.

I look forward to reading your book!
Sounds like an awesome journey, very authentic, just bought the audible.
Thank you, John! Let me know what you think.
Amazing stuff!!! Love it Brad
Thanks so much!!!!

Thank you!
Thank you for breaking this down! I can wrap my mind around it I love your videos.
Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 🙏🏽
I’m so glad the video was useful!
🙏🏽🔥🔥 this was so very helpful! Thank you. At the 10:00 min mark is where you really kicked the information into high gear and I got the message!
Great video, very helpful
Thank you, John. I'm glad you found it useful.
I really appreciate you taking the time to do this video - very helpful
You're very welcome. I will be making more videos soon. 🙏
...nice video! Is the following small excerpt any good? Leaving Kenya wasn’t easy. Fortunately, there was more work to be done, a reason to return. As the plane gained altitude, buildings disappeared and the rugged landscape came clearly into focus. Kenya was a wild thing, strong and free. Mountains in the west seemed to rise with the plane to say farewell. Likewise the network of rivers etched into the landscape revealed themselves like a giant treasure map as the morning’s mist burned off, but Kenya was more than the sum of its parts. Neither earth nor water had beckoned Sherry from across the ocean. The needs of Kenya’s people, her brothers and sisters in Christ, had been her calling, and now through tear clouded eyes she looked out the plane’s window and longed for the smiling faces of the children she had fallen in love with. Now the village had a fully functioning health care clinic, but there was more work to be done. Sherry wiped her eyes and forced a smile. She would come back…some day.
this is really great, thanks! found your videos randomly and have been going through them. You have a talent for describing the creative writing process.
Thank you, Jennifer. I plan to make more videos soon.
Thank you! This is a really helpful acronym and you’ve explained how to apply it beautifully.
I'm glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
I wish I could sit down with you and my story. The weight of it is impossible and so vast that I can't even put it all into words. It was all like a trainwreck that went on for years and I'm still picking myself out of the wreckage, knowing a train is on its way towards me all over again. Thank you for your desire to help others.
Thanks for your note, Katie! I hope you are continuing to make progress!
Great video
Thank you!
These tips were really helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Stay curious!
I will watch your youtube. Hope amazing n continous productive. Thanks
I had just come across your videos for the first time last night. I just started writing outlining and organizing a memoir three weeks ago and have found a lot of helpful assistance on UA-cam. I really want to thank you for this video and a few others I have now seen. The advice you have given is simply priceless and has really opened up a lot for me. I have had many thoughts and questions floating g around in my head and you have answered so many of them. I am grateful for your assistance Brad. I wish you a wonderful day
Thank you, Nathan. I appreciate your feedback. I plan to make more videos soon. I hope you'll return to the channel for them. Good luck with your writing project!
Awesome! Bill is outstanding! 💗Gracias, poetas! Thanks so much, Bradley! 😁
