Even if it were true I would still suggest reading this great adventure.
Hai wait. Did I mention that it is an autobiography?
If you think you are going through a difficult period. If you don't know what resilience means. If you really want to change the way you see life. Read this book. Really.
The book is an epic experience and a teaching (that also takes time).
