This was an interesting memoir by a man who found meditation as an amazing truth for his life. This happened for him, Alan Gompers, while he was serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison for drug dealing. He goes into a lot of detail to explain how each book and teacher on meditation added more meaning to his life.

A friend recommended this book to me and at first blush, I thought I would really hate it. You know the situation, you read the first 20 pages so you can sound intelligent when being asked about it. And then you bury it next to the old baseball cards, your college thesis and a picture of your old sweetheart that you forgot to throw away.

Well, it never made it to the closet. I couldn't put it down. Page after page, I felt I was living those experiences right along with Alan Gompers. He did a masterful job of weaving in his message and keeping me hooked all the way through to the end.

Now, I'm the friend recommending the book to other people. Do yourself a favor and buy it. Especially if you're like me and thought you wouldn't enjoy it. It has a lesson for all of us.
