~ Standard Hardcover

After more than a decade in the grueling world of professional sports, Clara Hughes began to realize that her physical extremes, her emotional setbacks, and her partying habits were masking a severe depression.  She has since emerged as one of our most committed humanitarians, advocating for mental health and a variety of social causes both in Canada and around the world. 

Told with honesty and passion, Open Heart, Open Mind is a personal journey through physical and mental pain to a life where love and understanding can thrive. 

“This honest memoir reveals the determination of a champion to overcome external adversity and internal struggles, finding her place as an athlete, an advocate, and a person.” -- Dr. David Goldbloom, Senior Medical Advisor, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
