Per Holknekt 1960-2014
Han var den komplexfyllde pojken från Dalarna som blev skateboardstjärna i Kalifornien. Han var entreprenören som grundade stilbildande butiker och skapade klädmärket Svea. Han var mannen som förlorade allt.
Utblottad och hemlös började Per Holknekt sin tuffa kamp mot ett mångårigt alkoholmissbruk. Han reste sig, grundade Odd Molly, blev mångmiljonär och levde livet.
Tills alkoholen fick honom i sitt grepp igen.
En ny kamp inleddes, och ett nytt liv. Hösten 2013 klev han ut från Odd Mollys kontor för sista gången. Per Holknekts liv är en berg- och dalbana. I hans memoarer, författade av Markus Lutteman, får vi följa med på turen.

Per Holknekt is a public figure in Sweden due to his involvement in Big Brother, Odd Molly and his relationships with Lena Ph and Victoria Tolstoy. I've always seen him as a kind of oddball. After reading this book I think he would have been proud of this description, but it's also a story about an insecure boy that always wanted confirmation that he was good as he was...
After reading the book I must say that I now admire him, sure he has a lot of flaws and he takes crazy risks but his drive and passion and willingness to follow impulse has taken him to great success. It has also taken him into very dark moments of failure as well and this is his strength in the end. In failure lies success. Without failure success is not possible.
Everybody can learn from this book especially if you are a male. For me I could recognize myself many times, maybe even more times than I wish.
A great read both as a biography, self help and business book which is a rare combination indeed.

Rekommenderas varmt. Jag visste ingenting om Per Holknekt när jag först började läsa boken. När jag sen läst klart den blev jag istället helt besatt utan honom och hans framgångar (och nedgångar). Alla kan lära sig något från den här boken.

The LA years were more interesting than the businessman.

Well written biography of an incredible life. Sometimes you think "this cannot be true" but it is, verifiable by many sources.
Three stars is the best any biography can get from me, so this is a good one.
