"In his engaging memoir To the Temple of Tranquility...And Step On

"This was [a book] I loved....It was a joy to listen to....This
book is worth reading if you want something really fun and
interesting."
--"Crazy Money with Paul Ollinger" podcast
"Heartfelt.... His book is filled with a jumble of name-dropping
admiration, love, and an entertaining account of the author's
journey through addiction, personal growth, and redemption.... A
memoir that's both touching and funny. Readers will see how Begley
finds joy in life in spite of his battles."--Library Journal
"This book will help a lot of people... it's funny too."--CBS
Mornings
"[A] rollicking memoir.... Begley's tone is smart,
self-deprecating, and mordantly witty.... Begley's inside
perspective on Tinseltown is humorous and revealing. The result is
a captivating Hollywood picaresque."--Publishers Weekly
"Begley's self-deprecating charm and good humor are evident
throughout.... The path is decidedly off-beat...at once a Hollywood
tell-all, a cautionary tale, and a work of earnest advocacy.
There's more to this celebrity's life than mere show-business
success."--Kirkus Reviews
