Critics Review

This is a fascinating story of an incredible life, told with unflinching honesty * Dr John Sellars author of ‘Lessons in Stoicism’ *His jovial nature belies his harsh, if colourful, personal journey from hedonistic teen rebel to devoted abbot of the Kagyu Samye Ling monastery, and it’s remarkable to comprehend from his new book […] just how the monk survived to redeem himself * The Sunday Times *Despite everything he has suffered, his story is a hopeful one and that can inspire others. Spending just a short time in his joyful company, and hearing his extraordinary personal journey, makes his unmovable positivity, forgiveness and tranquillity even more inspirational * The Sunday Business Post *Beautifully written * Chloe Brotheridge author of The Anxiety Solution *Brilliant and riveting. This book shows us that freedom is a choice we can all make * Gelong Thubten, author of ‘A Monk’s Guide to Happiness’ *
