But, as award-winning biographer Thomas Maier uncovered through extensive interviews with Spock and his family, his personal life was filled with tragic ironies and contradictions. His family suffered through alcoholism, substance abuse, divorce, mental illness, suicide, sexual tensions, and emotional indifference. His childhood, which so infused his book and made its success possible, nevertheless seemed to prevent him from taking his own advice. Maier, for the first time, tells the complete story of Spock's life, revealing the complicated journey of the man who said, \"Trust yourself. You know more than you think.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Maier\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Kennedys: America's Emerald Kings\u003c\/i\u003e, which was adapted for Warner Home Video DVD, and the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eDr. Spock\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book of the Year.
