A wild and entertaining ride

“I listened to this book as it was released as a series of podcasts. I can honestly say that I looked forward to receiving each of the chapters and found myself feeling impatient if they didn't appear on [my] time. This book can be very funny, but the author also speaks candidly of dealing with personal tragedy. Topics include extensive material on the author’s overcoming substance abuse, together with practical advice based on those (and other) difficult experiences. Sometimes I felt that I was intruding on the author’s personal space, but it was compelling listening. At times the organization of the book seemed chaotic, but it sounded honestly told, which makes it rather appealing and certainly “not your mother’s self-help book”. I really could have done without the religious stuff (half way through), but I liked the author’s political framework as it happens to be very close to my own point of view. I particularly liked the author’s telling of his tortuous journey to arriving at his passionately held beliefs. The narrative includes deep troughs and wild peaks of ego, but overall I felt that my listening time was time well spent. I expect it will receive a wide spread of ratings because the Author hasn’t compromised in any area; in other words, you’ll have to ‘try it’ to know if you like it, as the style, candor and opinion certainly won’t be to everyone’s taste. But I’m fairly sure that the author won’t care much about that. So, four stars and a sincere ‘thank you’ for the wild and entertaining ride.”

“I had no idea what to expect when I downloaded this book, I was almost immediately drawn in and could not stop listening. This is a guy who has created chaos, havoc and flirt with death only to evolve into who he is today. He says that he's very happy with his life on many levels and explains in...”Read full review »
