Great Book March 22, 2007
Kenneth Ismail
Excellent book that considers several factors including gender guiding lines, family atmosphere, culture, as well as the nature of addiction in providing an analysis of these three sad lives.

Very well crafted work here. The author provides a great deal of compelling evidence to suggest how early Lifestyle patterns influence faulty thinking later on in life. Beyond the technical aspects of this technique, this book takes great pain to identify the struggles each of these men underwent to set things right in their lives, while still falling victim to their deeply habituated behavior. I never fully considered how common these compensatory behaviors are in comedians, and this book definitely holds a light up to this phenomenon.
