Incredibly honest memoir with a beautiful message. Mike had been through so much yet remains curious and always optimistic. I couldn’t put it down. I’ll admit I know Mikey. I knew some of his cancer story. I had no idea about his addiction story. Such bravery to share so much as well as to return to college and grad school. Absolutely love this book.

I found this book by accident; I cried, I laughed, I enjoyed the Austin ‘Easter eggs’ and endurance sport woven throughout. 1000% recommend
