Imagine a life without food, where the human body thrives on nothing but air and sunlight. Breatharianism—a belief that we can survive without eating—has fascinated and horrified skeptics for decades. Devotees claim they’ve unlocked the ultimate secret to longevity, shedding their dependence on physical sustenance. But what happens when followers go too far and are fully taken in by the figureheads who don’t practice what they preach? Behind the serene promises of enlightenment lie stories of starvation, mystery, and death.

→ Post Meridiem: An Unreliable Memoir of Madness in Los Angeles

Dan Lauer has a memoir available on Kindle & Paperback.

Amazon: https://a.co/d/a1tPujS

"Post Meridiem is an unreliable memoir of events that occurred in Los Angeles County between June and September 2009. From the bewildering cast of a state-run psychiatric hospital to the horrific exhibits of the Museum of the Morbid, Dan Lauer searches for comfort and solace from a severe depression-driven psychotic break from reality in all the wrong places."
