The Imperfect Logic of the Heart Richard Schwachter

Now in his 70's, the author looks back at his life to explore the seeds of behavior that blurred distinctions between love, empathy, and codependency--behavior that would allow, his bipolar wife, in mental decline, to exploit "the imperfect logic of love." The author's journey includes a career in law and investment real estate with outrageous adventures along the way. The cast of characters include Barack Obama; Muhammad Ali, Robin Williams and the mysterious Black Label lady. You rarely hear a man's perspective on a codependent relationship which makes this book particularly interesting.
