As Tony Mandarich left Green Bay in February, 1993, his football career in shambles, Packer Plus staff writer, Tom Mulhern, wrote the following:"The overriding sentiment, however, is one of emptiness.

Tony's story is touched by magic and brushes against the tragic. It's a great human journey and a victory for the human spirit."--Jim Irsay, Owner, Indianapolis Colts, Super Bowl (r) XLI ChampionsAfter a highly successful and nationally publicized college career at Michigan State Unviersity, Tony Mandarich was drafted number two in 1989.

After three more years of alcohol and painkillers' abuse, Tony accepted God's hand, went into treatment and now considers it a privilege to be able to help other addicts when called upon.Learn more at www.TonyMandarich.comBook #6 in the Reflections of America Seriesfrom Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Suppose that four simple instinctual directives helped to bring about the survival of the human species. While good for survival purposes, those directives have also been at the heart of most human problems.Why Good People Make Bad Choices takes you on a journey of self-discovery by way of new insights about the human condition.
