>At other points during the therapy session Bourdain describes himself as feeling “like a freak”, “very isolated”, characterizes his grueling, peripatetic lifestyle as “crushing lonely”, and recounts how easily something as insignificant as a bad hamburger at an airport can send him “into a spiral of depression that can last for days.” Toward the end of the session, when the therapist returns to her opening question “what brought you here? “, he responds “I'd like to be happy. I'd like to be happier. I should be happy ... I'd like to be able to look out the window and say, 'Yeah, life is good.' When the therapist asks “... and you don't ?,” he answers with a simple, reflexive “No”. He also confides to the therapist that he attributes his problems to a narcissistic personality disorder. And when the therapist asks how long he has had this trait, he says “I think always. So nothing to be done."
