All Heart

Revisado: 04-30-25

This book is an intimate glimpse into the startlingly tender inner landscape of an artist whose songs are familiar to practically everyone but whose gentleness and grace were kept hidden for far too long. It’s the story of every latch key kid in America on blast. Be prepared to experience the full range of human emotion and to enjoy it whether you like it or not.

Engaging and informative

Revisado: 06-25-24

I find this history inspiring. The author has devoted her heart and soul to this work and it shows. There’s a lot here to unpack. The writing and narration make it easy to follow and exciting.

Startling lucidity within fluid storytelling

Revisado: 03-16-24

I guest became aware of Orland Bishop due to the timbre of his voice which is a gateway to awakening in and of itself. I hope he will one day record himself narrating this book. For now it is useful to listen to this clearly enunciated recording (Julie Sears, what were you thinking?!) while I follow along with a print copy. There is so much here, I look forward to reading it again and again and learning something new each time.

Red mist on acid

Revisado: 01-12-23

I confess, I only pre-ordered this book because I see the author as one of the four horsemen heralding the end of an old world and the birth of a new one. I believe that when monarchy is abolished the world will be a better place. I binge listened, filling my celebrity gossip quota for the rest of the year. Now I feel queasy and slightly hungover.

Prince Harry is unabashedly pro-war and pro-monarchy. It’s so bitchy I was reminded who his his godfather is. And he’s weirdly relatable. He is two-thirds of the way through his meandering alcohol-and-weed-fueled narrative before he spills the beans about the shrooms. About having been on mushrooms this whole entire time. Like, not just sometimes, but pretty much all the time, since puberty. Shrooms, aya, psilocybin, whatever. He talks to the animals. It became clear that the reason he’s so sure his family won’t read the book is that they think he’s ass-out crazy and listening to another one of his stories is their idea of hell. I laughed for over a minute straight. I could not stop. That alone was worth the one audible credit. But the fact that he never gets sober and instead goes in to be a staunch advocate for a Lebowski level regimen of spliffs and initiatic plant allies… priceless.

Props to his royal ghost writer and acting coach. To his credit the Prince is blessed with the kind of perfect comic timing which can’t be faked. I come away with an odd fondness and respect for the man, although we do not share values. I found this listen thoroughly engaging.

Required reading for live ones

Revisado: 05-06-22

If you’re at all interested in surviving the apocalypse, you’re going to need several manuals for post-civilization living. This one goes at the top of the list. A copy of this book belongs in every bunker, cave, and time capsule, and aboard every satellite.
