Today’s guest has lived more of that gap than most. He’s about as famous as it gets, has the kind of persona you can hear across a stadium, and has quietly been battling clinical depression for most of his adult life. The book he just wrote is one of the most honest things we’ve read in a while. Terry Bradshaw is a Hall of Fame quarterback (four-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers), a longtime beloved Fox NFL commentator, and now the author of his first book in 21 years, Looking for Terry. In this episode: – Why we all wear masks — and why the gap between the mask and the real face wears you out – Why Terry wrote this book after 21 years of silence – Childhood with ADD, a grandfather’s farm, and a mother who used to say he’d never amount to anything – The moment on the Steelers field in the ’80s nobody saw — crying under his hands after a sack – Why men don’t seek help (and the macho-man training that gets in the way) – Terry’s long road: family doctor to psychologist to psychiatrist – Tammy named his depression “Roy” (Dan immediately recognizes it as Internal Family Systems) – Not crying at his mother’s funeral — and why – “You told me I’d never amount to sh*t” — and the complicated fuel it provided – Marry well at least once — Dan’s late mentor Peter Jennings on marriage – The preacher analogy — the exhaustion of pouring yourself out for strangers – The bad Fox pregame show two weeks ago — and Tammy’s honesty about it – The “you may lose with me, but you’ll never win without me” moment with the Steel Curtain – Did he find Terry? “Bottom line, Dan — I like me” – Two kinds of cancer in the same year (Merkel cell, then bladder) — and the “I’m not sitting down” moment – Being 78 — hip replaced, knees replaced, happy – “If this is where I end up, I’d do it again” Subscribe to watch more 10% Happier videos: https://www.youtube.com/tenpercenthappier Follow Dan Harris on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/danharris/ https://www.tiktok.com/@danbharris https://www.facebook.com/DanHarrisABC https://twitter.com/danbharris https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-harris-91ba5716b/ #10PercentHappier #TerryBradshaw #LookingForTerry This episode features a promo for Planet Visionaries.
