Synopsis

From a recovering addict, musician, and tattooed indie culturist: a guidebook for today’s generation of spiritual misfits who crave a dogma-free path.

Brutally honest and radically unconventional, Chris Grosso’s collection of stories and musings about his meandering journey of self-inquiry, recovery, and acceptance shows what it means to live a truly authentic spiritual life.

Set amongst the backdrop of Grosso’s original music (includ­ed for download via QR codes in the text), Indie Spiritualist encourages you to accept yourself just as you are, in all your humanity and imperfect perfection.

Reviews

Grosso, who contributes to Huffington Post and other media outlets, also hosts a website for those who share—or are interested in exploring—his spiritual aesthetic. This volume draws both its title and much of its content from that site (theindiespiritualist.com). As a member of the indie culture that has matured around skateboarding, à la Tony Hawk, and the self-taught musicianship of the indie rock variety, Grosso also has been influenced by his experiences with drug-abuse and substance-abuse rehabilitation programs, and he developed his approach to spiritual matters with the same independent, sampling-weighted approach he brings to his other cultural pursuits. The book is broken into brief and often breezy chapters, many with links to Grosso’s own music. This isn’t a text for a reader who has developed spiritual or theological questions but, rather, for readers who want to look over the shoulder of a fellow who explores the nature of his soul by mixing up individuality and spirituality. --Francisca Goldsmith
