RoarkI saw Noah Levine at Wanderlust here in Dallas and really enjoyed his guided meditation; so I thought Id check this book out. Although Im a Christian and dont really identify Buddhism as the path towards freedom and happiness as Noah does; his story was very interesting. Its frustrating because he didnt have the kind of tough home life that one would expect from someone who was so destructive; its difficult to empathize with his choices of drug use and criminal activity; but once his story reaches the point where he knows he cant continue down his road; it gets really good.This book is for someone who wants inspiration for giving themselves another chance at life; but not necessarily for someone who is spiritually confused.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

He is a good role model for those that are combating addiction problems; and I do think that this book can help some people. I had to be honest; though; the man cant write.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Im agnostic but this book was still highly enjoyable. I definitely think a better time to read this would have been a few years sooner for me personally. Punk is more then just music and i loved reading it meant more to someone else as well.
