His life twisted and turned in harrowing self-destructive adventures that took him from his native Ireland to San Francisco, Australia, and finally, Los Angeles, coalescing into a classic tale of a man trying to run from his problems by moving to new and more exotic locations—a hard and painful realization that comes at a point in which he’s about to take his own life.

We suffer from the most insidious kind of addiction - one we don't even realize we have. It is the addiction to power itself. Both the Twelve Steps of recovery and the ancient teaching of Advaita reveal that powerlessness is the secret to genuine strength. The proposition that lasting peace in life can come through the recognition of complete personal powerlessness may seem counterintuitive and ultimately ridiculous. Yet, lasting peace is the miracle The Way of Powerlessness makes possible.

Opioids are among the most misunderstood medicines of the modern age. For some people, they represent the moment pain finally loosens its grip after surgery, injury, or serious illness. For others, they represent something far darker: dependence, withdrawal, overdose, and grief that arrives too suddenly and stays too long. The truth is that opioids can be both life-changing and life-ending, sometimes within the same life story. That is why this book exists. Opioids: The Good, The Bad and the Very Bad is a clear, compassionate guide to one of the most complex health issues of our time.

For forty years, I was sure I'd never quit. I was wrong—and so are you. I dipped smokeless tobacco from junior high until I was past fifty. Four decades with a can in my pocket almost every single day. I tried to quit more times than I can count—weaning, cold turkey, a doctor's prescription, nicotine gum by the box. Nothing stuck. I honestly believed I'd be a dipper until the day I died, and that the day might come sooner because of it. Then, on August 14, 2019, I put it down for good—and never picked it back up. I Quit is the plain, honest story of how I finally did it.
