Within: A Memoir of an Inner Alchemist

“What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” Nietzsche’s prediction applies to Alex Kroll’s autobiography, WITHIN (A Memoir of an Inner Alchemist) in which the author details his body-mind-spirit journey of some 40-plus years. From drugs to yoga, baking to meditation, bankruptcy to training in humanistic psychotherapy, readers will learn what makes Kroll tick now, and the different spiritual tenets to which he subscribes. At the very least, the curious can tap on a remarkable body of literature located in the book’s appendix.
