I'm, normally, not one for self-help books. Like George Carlin, if you go to a book, it's not SELF-help...and if you answered your own question, you didn't need the help. But I became involved with the author in his juncture to provide free ebooks to all military personnel and he, kindly, provided me with a copy of this book to read. I have to say, this is--in turn--deep, moving, and humorous in spoke. It becomes less of a self-help book and more of a discussion of personal philosophy than anything else. In my not-so-humble opinion, the Dread Pirate spends a great deal of time with interesting, intelligent philosophy and gives the reader a great deal to think on. Most self-help books give you the answers in a spoon fed fashion. This book takes the time to walk you through the author's life, his personal philosophy, and how he applied to his daily course. The reader is invited to use that to plot his or her own course through the mind and beliefs. The reader is challenged and inspired...exactly what a philosopher would do. Dread Pirate is a name that could be mouthed with others such as Plato, Socrates, and Descartes. I truly enjoyed this ebook. It is inspiring and lifting, but it is also interesting enough to hold my gaze to the computer screen for the entire read. Well done and most worth the price. I would call this a "must read" for anyone who wants to plot the course through the dangerous waters of our times and needs a good ship and a star to steer her by. This one is the North Star.

This collection of essays originated as a weblog journal. For two years, the author posted his thoughts on life, politics, and all things maritime to the enjoyment of a readership invited to comment or argue. In this adaptation of that work, the metaphorical motif of a Pirate Captain instructing his crew on the good ship Destiny’s Quest is both useful and at times confusing. Some of the essays make references to material unavailable in this collection which occasionally places the reader outside what appears to be an inside joke or running gag. However, these are minor quibbles against the body of the book. The author has an engaging style and demonstrates a willingness to mine his own successes, failures, frustrations and triumphs in search of the keys that will guide himself and his readers into life choices that will capitalize on the positives and avoid the negatives. The list of topics gleaned from scrolling down through the Table of Contents reads like a catalog of motivational speeches. Diversity, Strategy, Challenge, Complexity, Love and Money, Right and Wrong, Team, and Tenacity all find their place in the list, but this isn’t the standard pablum offered by the motivational speaker recycling worn aphorisms and vague generality. Dread Pirate writes from the perspective of the Rogue and outsider. He dismisses the standard wisdom of the New Age guru and exposes the thoughts that many of us carry through the day. In “The Game of Life” he writes: I get in trouble a lot. Go figure. You see, I speak damn near the same way I right. No shit. Messes the common land lover up big time. The Dread Pirate neither apologizes nor brags, he simply states it the way it is and invites the reader to take it or leave it. In “A Symphony of Movement” he touches on one of his consistent themes, change as the constant of life: “Each journey is one of our own choosing. There are ventures we take with crew and others we take alone. At times crew might be all around us, and we stand alone in a musing that seems only to grow deeper and more mysterious with time. In the end it matters not. The breeze pushes the Quest along and we ride the waves along with her. There is little choice in the matter. For even deep in thought and frozen in thought we continue to move forward through time and space. Movement is continuous and thus we stop for nothing.” The Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls may be read as a work of motivation, as a glimpse into a personal journey, or as an example of the expanding new creative medium of weblogging as literary genre. However you choose to view the work, it will entertain and challenge. At times you will agree heartily as when he urges the acceptance of responsibility for the choices we make. At others you may disagree. In the end you may find yourself sailing along with the Captain and crew of Destiny’s Quest just for the sheer fun of it.
