Wildly entertaining, philosophical memoir of rebellion, survival, and self-discovery.
None of the Answers is a warts and all philosophical, spiritual and revealing memoiresque read twenty years in the making by successful American entrepreneur Jeff Swaney. Written in the lost art of Gonzo journalism, the wildly entertaining stories chronicle a life lived far outside the box. It’s a first offering by the author but provides unexpected punch and polish.
Highly entertaining, None of the Answers recounts terrifying experiences on mountain summits, desert madness, police raids, Oregon family court travails and even a little jailtime in Dallas Texas in his youth. The rich, textured page-turner launches the reader into memory lane, spurring a search for our own best selves through reflection and questioning beliefs.
