The man is an excellent story teller. This book is a wonderful tale of the power of manifestation and self belief and risk and reward.

I was finishing this just as the news of Grohl's news broke of a baby born outside of his marriage and it was very hard to reconcile what I was hearing in the book about his devotion to his family and the news ... But that shouldn't take away from the fact this book is good storytelling.

The audiobook has snippets of music that’s never been released (or hadn’t at the time of the audiobook’s publication!), which is cool! I do wish he spent more time talking about his wife and a little more about his mom. Good overall though!

Easily the best autobiography by a musician I have read.  His music is the soundtrack to my own life.  He is an inspiration

I am not a fan of Dave Grohl’s music but after reading this book I am a fan of Dave Grohl. This book was an interesting account if Grohl’s music and life. Highly enjoyable.
