They Call Me Supermensch - Shep Gordon

This was a great biography about Shep Gordon, who had a huge hand in the career of Alice Cooper, Anne Murray, and later, celebrity chefs like Emeril LaGasse.  It's an honest and introspective biography where Shep talks about his successes in the entertainment industry, and his misgivings about not starting a family of his own.

I particularly loved the section where he talked about cooking for the Dalai Lama.  I think anyone who incorporates some of the Dalai Lama's teaching into his life shares a common bond with me.

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook, which was read by Shep himself.  He has a pretty calm reading style but never bores you.
