I own all of Mr. Emersons' books, and all of them are truly great sources of information, including his autobiography "The Right Kind of Crazy". I actually have the original version of this book, but wanted the updated version, and frankly, appreciated the nice touch of it being autographed. Before reading any of these books, I listened to him speak on several podcasts, and what stuck out to me more than anything else was his sense of humor. But in respect to this review, buy the book. His former career really offers a unique, extremely useful perspective that's tailor made for this type of material.
So if you'd rather lay back in your bean bag chair and watch re-runs of "Ricki Lake", or sob into your pillow at night while Michael Bolton plays on repeat....then go for it. But one day, I hope the meat puppet staring back at you through the mirror is hideous enough to prompt you to purchase this book. Otherwise, you're just food for the wolves.
