INSPIRATION REVIEW Indie Spiritualist: A No Bullshit Exploration of Spirituality By Chris Grosso I If ever a book needed a warning label, it’s this one! F ast, gritty, and real, Chris Grosso’s “Indie Spiritualist – A No Bullshit Exploration of Spirituality”, is a roller coaster ride into toilet bowl spirituality. From mosh pits to psych wards, from drug use to cutting, Chris’s story isn’t just another sinner to saint story; it’s a story of how to be human AND divine at the same time. There will be times when you’ll want to cry for him, for what he’s experienced, but you can’t because he won’t let you. Looking through his eyes, he will teach you how to embrace the pain that life can bring without feeling sorry for yourself. And as he quotes Henry David Thoreau, cusses in context, and refuses to apologize for his life, he will drag you kicking and screaming to the mirror until you too see the Buddha inside of you, warts and all. And. That. Is. No. Bullshit. Reviewed by Deb Klein 12 | NEW CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW From mosh pits to psych wards, from drug use to cutting, Chris’s story isn’t just another sinner to saint story...
