Historia5 out of 5 stars 8
The author's young adulthood basically amounts to a how-to primer for addiction. Paranoia and impulsiveness, obsession, and manipulation. Throw in compulsion, false pride, fear and dishonesty, all driven by self-centered thinking. The gateway behavior for all the others. Blessed with a good memory, almost granular for certain events and circumstances, Mike Matson turns his journalist's eye on his own past and the result is an honest, unflinching look at his decades-long struggle with addiction.

Humor, Humility, Honesty: Confronting the Power of Addiction
Revisado: 12-18-24
Mike Matson’s self-awareness and memory are nothing short of amazing. His story-telling belongs in that category as well.
In this volume, hear the author in his own voice recall the insidious spiral and powerful grasp of addiction as well as the personality traits we rely on to help explain it away.
This fast-paced and gripping audiobook is, at many times, as entertaining as it is devastating. Music and historical audio, coupled with the author’s masterful delivery will transport you to the eras and places in this story. Ultimately, it will help you gain a better understanding of the dark nature of addiction. Perhaps it will help you to recognize some of these traits within yourself as you hear raw, real examples of the vulnerability, humility, courage, faith, and sense of humor that can help you or someone you love find a way off that destructive path.
