If the answer is yes, then your journey to punk rock and personal enlightenment begins here...

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

About the authorAs a child Sam was obsessed with music and drumming. As a teenager he wanted to be a famous rock musician. He pursued that for a while, with some success in a band called 'Jacob's Mouse' but decided to do something less selfish with his life and became a mental health worker, which he did for the next twenty years or so. Then Sam met a bloke who had lived in a Buddhist monastery and they discussed the deep stuff, like 'what is life all about?' Sam started meditating and investigating Eastern spiritual traditions, and soon he started writing.Sam's first book was the enlightening 'Wisdom of the Punk Buddha' and his new book, 'A Poke in the Third Eye', follows on from that in the same superbly heartfelt and honest style.Sam lives in Suffolk with his wife Rachel and their troublesome cats, where this good-hearted bookworm of a punk-rocker tries to remain calm and thoughtful.
