The Savior Inside You: 18 Daily Essays on Hollywood, Self-Help, and Other Illusions

"I moved to Los Angeles to find a way into the movie business, and, instead, found a city full of people eager to make a living "helping" me on my journey. 15 years later, I'm still not into movies, so I figured, why not throw my 2 cents into the self-help bucket? It seems to be a pretty good business. These 18 essays are a chance for me to write what I think about, well, everything. At least, everything that everybody thinks matters: love, life, money, fame, God, reality TV, spacetime, pro wrestling, sorcery, 5 star hotels, lab experiment monkeys, etc. Maybe happiness isn't where or even what I thought it was. Along the way, I may have learned a thing or two about how the world seems to work, so here's my attempt to pay it forward. Do I have the answers? Highly unlikely. Can just asking the question be a fun read, with maybe just a little bit insight sprinkled in? I sure hope you all think so. Or else my mom is going to have to buy a lot more e-books." -Damon Young
