ABOUT THE BOOK:

This powerful and lyrical work, at once a beautifully poetic memoir and an exploration of the various ways we live in the world, explains violence as a pathology that touches every aspect of our lives, and indeed affects all aspects of life on earth.



PRAISE:

“Singular, compelling and courageously honest, this book is more than just a poignant memoir of a harrowingly abusive childhood. It relates the extraordinary journey of one man striving to save his own spirit and our planet’s. ... His visceral, biting observations always manage to lead back to his mantra: ‘Things don’t have to be the way they are’.”
