4.5 stars. He begins with his life story and ends with his spiritual journey, much of which centers on Ram Das. As someone who has heard much of Ram Das but really doesn't get him, it was a nice cameo of his appeal for many.
Pete is just as good at writing about spiritually waking up as he is at speaking about it. If you listen to his podcast, you've probably already heard him pontificate about this, but it was still a great (funny) read. It was nice to hear his story start to finish, and you'll learn something about living.
This was probably a 4 star book to me, but it gets five stars because of how much I like Holmes and how usually Christian/spiritual stuff grates on me, and Holmes manages to make the religion and spirituality sections feel honest and refreshing, instead of boring and irritating. I think this is a good book for Christians, athiests, or anybody in between, especially if you have an open mind.
In regards to the non-religion stuff, it was still all very good. Pete is funny and likeable, and while I wish he had delved a lot more into his early standup days (especially considering he's doing a show about them), I can understand why he didn't and overall the book satisfies.
