"But one day, as a much older man, Garry wrote in his diary **a formula that might help him overcome that pain and not only heal his own inner child** but pass on the lesson to the many surrogate children he had as a mentor and elder in show business.* The formula was simple and is key to breaking the cycle and stilling the deep anguish we carry around with us: **Give more. Give what you didn’t get. Love more. Drop the old story**."
