Alyson Stoner, a former child star, is set to release their memoir, 'Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything,' which explores their childhood and mental health journey. They emphasize the psychological toll of writing the book and aim to reveal deeper truths about their life than previous child star narratives. Stoner connects their memoir to broader themes of mental health and entertainment industry ethics, building on their podcast, 'Dear Hollywood,' and their mental health company, Movement Genius. Their goal is to inspire honest discussions about being 'well-adjusted' in a dysfunctional society.
"Nothing could've prepared me for the intense psychological journey of piecing my story together into 90,000 words, especially when I discovered entirely new information about my own childhood three-quarters of the way in."
"If you think the recent documentaries like Quiet on Set and other child star memoirs have been revealing, they're just the tip of the iceberg. I'm ready to share intimate details past and present to connect new dots, raise new questions, and spur people to action."
