It's Not Personal: Letting go and gaining an island

Chris Roland

4.9/5 (32272 ratings)

Description:Chris’ story is riveting, entertaining, and jaw-dropping unbelievable. His easy to read style pulls you in and holds you like an intense one on one conversation with a close friend.Chris’ life has shifted from chaos to bliss and back again so many times it’s like a high-octane movie meets Zen master.Chris’ is a powerful and moving story of tenacity that defies all odds, plowing his way through overwhelming challenges growing up, from alcoholism and abuse when they were the norm, to becomming a successful business owner, filmmaker, and traveling the world; Chris created a life that inexplicably heaved and flowed in extremes - until he finally got the message!In this memoir set against the hilarious insanity of his last film, Chris transforms from filmmaker to teacher as we witness, in real time, the painful process of holding on and letting go of his career, home, and ego, inspired by a tropical island’s promise. Chris takes us behind the scenes in a way only an insider could, but then insightfully juxtaposes this with anecdotes of his earlier life in all its rawness. Before it’s over, Chris will have to let it all go, including the current version of himself.This is real, unedited, and inspiring. It is as pragmatic as it is spiritual, and will frustrate, amuse, anger, sadden, motivate, and speak to the reader. As one review put it, “A no holds barred look into one man’s genesis. As anyone who has gone through it can attest, it ain’t pretty. A story of awakening.”WHAT THEY’RE SAYINGA relentless, witty, and soul finding read you can’t put down.Bonnie – Johannesburg South AfricaChris' book could be considered the report of a business default. But Chris was able to describe it in details, moment by moment, second by second. In doing so, the reader can touch and perceive the soul’s nuances that a man, falling in a “swamp”, feels. The soul’s nuances of a human being that has to take a decision, but his emotionality and rationality live together in an aporia, they are on a roller coaster without end.Chris' book is a story of an “initiation”, a report that involves and describes the human aspects of the painful, but at the same time it faces political and social issues!! And from this perspective I believe that “It’s not personal” must be considered as a book of great and powerful social impact!Mirta - ItalyJust finished Chris’ book and I feel so incredibly humbled and inspired, angry and frustrated, proud and speechless. Chris’ story really resonated with me. Thank you for your courage, kindness, and passion.Julie – Victoria AustraliaI couldn’t believe how much the author suffered and was transformed by such an ordeal. His resilience is inspiring.Tamsin – Los Angeles USAKudos for facing all the challenges. The entertainment business and the world has lots of miserable people and their actions are evidence of this daily. Chris has plenty of spirit, but also a soul that endured much and rose above it all.John – Los Angeles USAWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
