Brian Wilson Wrote Summer… While Living in Darkness | The REAL Story with Dr. Phil

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

Brian Wilson gave us Good Vibrations, Surfin' U.S.A., and the soundtrack to summer itself. But behind the Beach Boys legend was a man fighting demons most of us can't imagine—hallucinations, trauma, addiction, and mental illness. He didn't quit. He turned pain into purpose, and failure into brilliance. This is The Real Story of Brian Wilson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
