A new book by Operation Transformation’s Dr Eddie Murphy helps older people to come to terms with emotional struggles, says Margaret Jennings.

LOTS of us go through life pretending to be someone else — hiding behind a mask, afraid to be real — but it’s never too late to take that disguise off, according to RTÉ’s Operation Transformation clinical psychologist, Dr Eddie Murphy.

In between that mask and the ‘real’ person is a gap that is a breeding ground for negative emotions — which is why people end up struggling with a variety of issues in life.
