You probably did not grow up like this guy. That's why you will find this book so interesting. Neither he nor his parents seem terribly likeable but the book fascinates. What happens to a kid raised without boundaries, to be himself before he has really formed into a person. Dropping acid with Jerry Garcia's daughter or playing with a guy named Grux in a noise band--or working 10 hours a day in the circus as a child are not experiences many of us have had! Not really a 12 step clone but close!
just read a short summary about this guy's life in UK's Guardian Newspaper... fascinating... chimes with my own thoughts that some of the supposedly "wonderful" stuff in the modern world just isn't - e.g. individualism, meritocracy - and all of that self-help snake oil peddalled by his dad.
Oh, and it seems the boy really could juggle, too!

What an odd little promo video for his book! I enjoyed it.
I still think Jack Canfield, even though he was an absentee dad, has excellent ideas in his books.
I wish Oran the best of luck.
