<p>This book is equal parts self-help and hilarious reality written by a funny lunatic the last Guru you will ever need folks right in this book. Adrian yup that’s me writing in the third person like well… a crazy person, (calm down its ok for you to laugh at my crazy) he has written an inspiring tale of survival and not becoming just another victim or statistic, this book details serious childhood and adulthood trauma from physical, verbal and sexual abuse to bullying in school and growing up poor with a tyrant of a father in the hot streets of Miami, Florida and into adulthood in Denver, Colorado.</p><p>You will read what it was like to survive these events as well as Adrian’s challenging adulthood having to live with and overcome mental illness PTSD, Bipolar1 as well as physical ailments, homelessness and even addiction as well as the loss of his mother, this book details not only the horrors he has survived but it is also a swan song to a loving mother who suffered along-side him and only ever wanted for her son to be happy. His quick wit and very sick sense of humor keeps the book funny and upbeat with plenty of jokes inspiring both strength and hope to not give up and truly shine as a human being.</p><p>If you want to know the back story to the cover picture you will have to dive in to a book that is written with brutal humorous honesty or you can go to the back of the book store like a cheapskate read that chapter and put the book back on the shelf but you won’t do that look at how adorable I was and still am, of course I wrote my own summary now buy me yes this is blatant pandering I’ve got nothing left to lose so jump in and enjoy the ride that I had to live so that you could read it and tell your friends to buy a copy too it makes a great crooked table leveler.</p><p>~Adrian Carlisle</p>
