“Must-have for the actor's bookshelf (full disclosure--the author is a friend of mine).”
“Simple, clear and elegant. This is the yang to Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art" yin.”
“For those who are self-motivated, curious and at a crossroads, this is probably the finest resource I've found for excavating your true self and putting yourself back on your Right Path. Lots of great exercises, some of which will serve you long after you finish the book.”
“A good, fast read. Lots of cringeworthy stuff in there to remind you (painfully) of your awkward youth.”
“Wonderful system for setting and following values-based goals.”
“Incredibly touching portrait of a delicate soul. A great lens through which to view the 1950s, and an engrossing read, from start to finish.”
“My mother identified heavily with this novel--that's a story in and of itself. I grew up in aspirational upper-middle-class Chicago, not NYC, but this has the ring of truth. I re-read it every five years or so.”
“If you're starting with Bukowski, it's this or Post Office. Funny, touching, horrifying and real. A ripping good yarn (or series of yarns.)”
“If you're starting with Bukowski, it's this or Factotum. Hilarious, raw, real, true. Writing at its best.”
“Fan-TAS-tic advice for adults who've grown rusty in kidspeak. Design-wise, it's the pits, and every once in a while the writing is a little poky, but don't let that stop you. Great, great content, chock full of excellent real-life examples.”
