From Jack Bender, lead director / executive producer of the TV series along with many other acclaimed shows, comes —an unexpected and wholly unique take on what it means to be human. Through the lens of his original paintings, paired with intimate and occasionally satirical atonements, this out-of-the-box book is provocative, raw, and universally relatable. Bender’s art illuminates people of all ages and from all walks of life, proposing that perhaps our biggest mistakes are our greatest opportunities to heal. is a perfect coffee table book and an extraordinary gift.
