About the Book

To some, Samuel Vaden is a real estate professional in Florida and California. To others, he was an advertising technology entrepreneur in Los Angeles, CA. Unbeknownst to all, he had been living with a secret for 13 years, a secret that almost killed him. For the first time in 13 years, Samuel opens up about his battle with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and Anorexia Nervosa. He unveils his struggle through an emotional introductory story and a series of vulnerable poems. Vaden starts his book with a deeply personal account of his experience at West Point - which triggered his 13-year struggle with the psychological, and consequently, physical disorders. His collection of poetry conveys the wide-ranging set of emotions endured over the course of 13 years - from the day he became obsessed with his body image, the day he was discharged from the military, the period of love found and love lost, the period of internalizing shame and anxiety, culminating in the journey to California where recovery and realization occurred. Samuel's book is a message of pain, suffering, angst, shame, recovery, growth and healing. Poetry and writing was Samuel's therapy during his darkest days. It is now his guiding light to help others realize their self-worth, to confront harmful, gender-based eating disorder/body disorder stereotypes (in both civilian and military settings) and to raise awareness for the most vulnerable in our society.
About the Author: Samuel Vaden has spent the past 15 years working in various music entertainment, real estate and technology-related endeavors. He co-founded two early-stage/stealth-mode startup ventures in California and Florida, respectively. Samuel is also a real estate advisor in California and Florida. He utilizes personal earnings from his commercial real estate endeavors to fund his entrepreneurial efforts and to support worthwhile causes which advocate for U.S. military veterans' issues, the prevention of cyber-bullying and those organizations that raise awareness for individuals affected by body image/eating disorders. He earned his Master's in Business Administration from American University in Washington, D.C with concentrations in Integrated Marketing Communications and Real Estate Finance. He spent his undergraduate years at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY and Roanoke College in Salem, VA where he graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration in 2007. He currently lives Florida, but travels to California, New York City and Europe throughout the year.
