I've followed Recycled Percussion, the band Justin Spencer started, since 2011 when they performed at California State University-San Bernardino for homecoming, but only in the last year or so did I realize Justin does so much more than the band. I then found out about Chaos and Kindness, and what Justin does for his community in New Hampshire. 

When I found out he also had a book published, I bought it just as the COVID-19 pandemic was becoming a huge deal. 

The book reads exactly how I feel a conversation with Justin would go. He even wrote right at the beginning: " The language in this book may be a little raw, but that's the way I talk." I've watched enough of his Facebook videos to know that he can give a good pep talk, and I just appreciate how open and real he is about issues that tend to be kept personal, yet are totally relatable for so many.

Although he can be a bit "chaotic" at times, his "kindness" is what truly shines, and I'm not talking about just this book. Justin is truly a one-of-a-kind human that is fulfilling his legacy by doing amazing things for others because he can.

"YOU ARE DYING. That's the good news. If you are dying it means one thing: you aren't dead yet. So you've got some time. Could be minutes. Could be days. Could be decades. But make no mistake, just because you are alive doesn't mean you are living."

I greatly admire Justin Spencer as an artist and as a human being. I live in his home state of New Hampshire, and the things he's done for the people of this state over the past couple of decades are immeasurable. He is a gift. Much of this book reflects that. Much of it, while not necessarily inspirational, is definitely motivational. Unfortunately, the thing that resonated with me the most was his statement that "bullying is kind of like rape." No. Bullying, while awful, is NOTHING like rape. Not even a little bit. I kept going back to that one sentence in my mind, and it very nearly ruined this book for me. I'm going to go back and revisit it later when I've been able to let it go, and hopefully I'll get more out of it the second time around. Maybe he didn't mean that one sentence to sound the way it did, but those few little words detracted from the book as a whole in a major way.

I love the simplicity of this book and the frankness of the author. I choose to grow, not rot!

It was an easy read. When I sat down to read it I was finished in under three days. I think it would be very similar to how it would sound if you got a chance to talk with him about what you want to do with your life.
