Endorsements
“This book is a must read for anyone who thinks that `nasty words’ whether written or spoken don’t leave a lasting legacy. When those words are critical, mean, and constant, the damage can run deep, and affect a person’s life in ways that are unimaginable. But this isn’t a sad tale that will leave you feeling flat… It is a powerful story of someone who faced all those demons and came out on top. I have no doubt Adam’s honesty, courage, openness, and journey of self-help, self-discovery, and healing, will no doubt assist others that are struggling with their mental health. He has shared his darkest moments, and explained the constructive and helpful steps he took to regain control of his life. Bravo Adam.”
JOHANNA GRIGGS, TV Presenter and Beyond Blue Director

“Honest, kind, and intelligent. These are words I already knew about Adam Blum. But strong, resilient, and brave are what I have learnt about him since reading his book Easy Target. Told with unflinching honesty, Adam shows true strength that has defied the bully’s taunts and the teacher who told him he would “amount to nothing.” Instead, he has thrived because of them. Adam’s book is a must-read for anyone who is struggling. It’s an important story that will save your life.”

Adam is a role model for young men in our communities and I have no doubt will save lives through his relatable rose that grew from concrete journey.
It is an honour to call you a friend and colleague."
