VioletPandaNo more wikopedia!so far its a pretty decent recovery book, for future reference wikipedia is not a very credible or authoratative resource the constant referral to it is kinda makin me crazy, because I think what he is saying is valid just needs to use peer viewed resources so that there is a believability factor

Don from VirginiaPowerful and Well DoneI found this originally while looking for time management information. It is hard to put this into a category but I see this much more an autobiography of a very difficult climb out of addiction and into a successful and fulfilled life. I found myself leaving my office each day looking forward to the next chapter on my drive home, or sitting in my car in my driveway still listening after arriving home. I cannot relate to any of his life experiences yet found myself fascinated by the book. Well done, excellent quality, excellent information, download this - you will not be disappointed. Thanks Michael for putting your heart into this.

Impressed new civil war buffUneven but good overallAuthor's infusion of personal political leanings really distracts. Taxation if represented is not stealing in my philosophy but I guess I can write my own book. Otherwise, a very good book in terms of the essentials of recovery.

SolidState44Flawed but overall very insightfulThere were times when the reader's attempts at cuteness took me away from the audiobook, but overall it presents a straightforward and insightful look at how to live the life you want.

DBKaneThe most powerful, effective self help book I've readI 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 very real, practical terms how to get what he has. There is no BS and while the writing is very good, it is not the kind of self help book that will be welcomed by everyone. It's raw, edgy and very real. He offers many one-off tips such as a keyboard shortcut, but the bulk is about how to get it together, remove the people from your life that steal your serenity and find peace for yourself at work, at home and in your heart. I've alrady shared selected chapters with my son. I think the book should be standard reading in high school even though students may not absorb it all. Most importantly, the book doesn't cost you a penny. It's the authors gift (donations are appreciated). You don't need to buy any additional materials to do the work in the book like many other self help programs. Everything you need is in the book and inside you.

siconomA wild and entertaining rideI 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.
