What a journey, what a life! This is a must read for everyone especially young people in search of wisdom and direction in life. To provide that, seems to be the main reason that drove Mr Knight to write this book, insightful, humorous and honest. In the last chapter of the book: "It would be nice to help them avoid that typical discouragements. I'd tell them to hit pause, think long and hard about how they want to spend their time, and with whom they want to spend it for the next forty years. I'd tell men and women in their mid twenties not to settle for a job or a profession or even a career. Seek a calling. Even if you don't know what that means, seek it. If you're following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointments will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you've ever felt." "The harder you work, the better your Tao. And since no one has ever adequately defined Tao, I now try to go regularly to mass. I would tell them: Have faith in yourself, but also have faith in faith. Not faith as others defines it. Faith as you define it. Faith as faith defines itself in your heart."
