This book is phenomenal. I can't recommend it highly enough. The last section is hardly religious; instead it focuses on the positive power that propels us forward. The author acknowledges that he believes in God and uses the words "muse" and "angels", but in the first chapter of the last section makes it clear that labels matter very little--you can just call it talent encoded in your genes due to years of evolution if you want. The points he makes are highly relevant and thought-provoking, no matter your faith or lack thereof.

I am the wrong reader for this book. It is oracular in style, full of verbal testosterone, irony and harsh truths, for example that art is misery and sends you into a boxing match for your soul. None of this fits with my beliefs or my approach to life. Maybe you will like it, though....
