"Reporter is just wonderful. Truly a great life, and what shines out of the book, amid the low cunning and tireless legwork, is Hersh's warmth and humanity. This book is essential reading for every journalist and aspiring journalist the world over." --John le Carr "A master class in the craft of reporting." --Alan Rusbridger, The New York Times Book Review From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, best-selling author and preeminent investigative journalist of our time--a heartfelt, hugely revealing memoir of a decades-long career breaking some of the most impactful stories of the last half-century, from Washington to Vietnam to the Middle East. Seymour Hersh's fearless reporting has earned him fame, front-page bylines in virtually every major newspaper in the free world, honors galore, and no small amount of controversy. Now in this memoir he describes what drove him and how he worked as an independent outsider, even at the nation's most prestigious publications. He tells the stories behind the stories--riveting in their own right--as he chases leads, cultivates sources, and grapples with the weight of what he uncovers, daring to challenge official narratives handed down from the powers that be. In telling these stories, Hersh divulges previously unreported information about some of his biggest scoops, including the My Lai massacre and the horrors at Abu Ghraib. There are also illuminating recollections of some of the giants of American politics and journalism: Ben Bradlee, A. M. Rosenthal, David Remnick, and Henry Kissinger among them. This is essential reading on the power of the printed word at a time when good journalism is under fire as never before.Binding Type: Paperback

Very readable treatment of a difficult topic
I thought the book was very easy to read and written as if Mike was in a room with you chatting about this important topic. I think the book is a great resource for anyone dealing with either personal challenges or interpersonal issues with friends, coworkers or family members. A very informative book that deals with a difficult topic in an easy to read writing style.

Good read
"I know you were once an child with dreams but I once your child with my own dreams." Is a quote that relates to this book.While it needs to be edited more and some mistakes fixed, this has allowed me and many others to understand our parents better and work towards fixing what they have done or even what they failed to do.

Guidelines for Self-awareness and change
This book’s focus, to me, was about self-awareness: 1 to what degree were my parents emotionally immature and what impact, if any, did this impact me?; 2. To what degree have I grown and developed in emotional intelligence/nurturing resilience?; and what impact did my behaviors have on my children’s development? An interesting exercise

A Practical Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Immaturity
“The Legacy of Emotionally Immature Parents: Gain Insights and Solutions Across the Generations to Navigate Child-Rearing Challenges, Build Healthy Relationships, and Grow Emotionally” by Mike Palm is the practical guide for parents who couldn’t fully meet emotional needs, and couldn’t give what they didn’t have and the adults still carrying the impact.
The book is quite well structured.
For example, Chapters 1–2 define emotional immaturity, trace its roots and explore how it shows up in family dynamics.
Chapter 3 focuses on breaking the cycle - identifying patterns, using boundaries, mindfulness, and behavioral change tools.
Chapter 5 is on self-care - prioritizing it without guilt, designing routines, balancing family obligations, and practicing emotional detachment.
Chapter 7 tackles forgiveness and building a legacy of emotional maturity.
Overall, this is a practical guide for anyone who grew up feeling emotionally unseen and wants to parent differently.
Highly recommended for parents who recognize emotional immaturity in their upbringing and want to stop the cycle, or anyone wanting to build healthier relationships with family members who may still carry those patterns.
