Through it all, this illuminating adventure offers a fresh and hopeful point of view to the meaning of life in these troubled times.\" --Steve Kammon, Editor, Circuit Noize magazine Greg DiStefano has spent a decade on the fringes of the limelight, brushing up against the famous and the infamous in the shadowy underbelly of New York's nightclub scene.

Propelled by a string of serendipitous events, Greg and Spiros wind their way across the Middle East and India, interacting with a series of seers, sages, and spiritual masters. Troubled by America's soulless culture, internal conflicts, and the meaninglessness of his star-studded dream job, Greg breaks down. Stripped of everything that defines his identity, only a terrifying leap into the unknown can save him.

A testimonial to the indomitable human spirit, this coming-of-age tale provides hope, deeper meaning, and an opportunity for transformation. \u003ci\u003eBreakdown\u003c\/i\u003e...\u003ci\u003e find yourself\u003c\/i\u003e Five Percent of the author's royalties will be donated to Hale House--America's best-known independent facility for addicted babies in Harlem.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 02, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45395447742566,"sku":"9780595342921","price":29.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/ZFQ2eVZhcVgwWjZPLzRFaTROZWdOQT09.webp?v=1775299785","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/breakdown-diamonds-death-and-second-chances-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
