More About This Book

Overview

The perfect gift for the legions of fans of the Rolling Stones: timeless wisdom and spiritual beliefs inspired by one of the world’s great survivors, Keith Richards.

What is a wise man? What is a prophet?

Someone with a strange, unflappable demeanor. Someone who speaks in cryptic koans, words whose meanings take years to unravel. Someone who has confronted death, God, sin, and the immortal soul. Someone unfit for this world, but too brilliant to depart it. Someone, in short, like Keith Richards.

Here, at last, the wisdom of this indefatigable man is recorded and set forth. These are his visionary words: “I would rather be a legend than a dead legend.” Or “Whatever side I take, I know well that I will be blamed.” And—indeed—“I’ve never had a problem with drugs, only with policemen.”

Not merely a compendium of wisdom, this book is also a complete guide to the inner workings of a complex and inspired belief system, and the life of a man sanctified by fame. What Would Keith Richards Do? reminds us to learn from our mistakes, let our instincts lead us, and above all, do what Keith has done better than anyone—survive.

    Loved this book...Well researched and highly original

    This book was a lot of fun. I don't think it is to be taken super-seriously, however there is a lot here that is on the level of the most popular self-help books in terms of solid advice. With the demise of a recent fairly young pop star (ie, Michael Jackson), and people asking how Keith outlived him, well, if you read this book, you might understand. There's so much philosophy and attitude to what has kept him going and being the archetypal survivor. There's some history, one recipe, lots of facts, some self-help advice from Keith, and mostly, there's lots of quotes, set up according to subject, just like in a typical Daily Affirmations book, on subjects from Courage to Addiction to Survival and Nutrition, plus some insults. Fun and recommended, most definitely for rock n roll fans.

    Keith Richards fans have found their Holy Grail!

    Keith Richards fans have found their Holy Grail! Jessica West illuminates with a thoughtful, picaresque, thorough and thoroughly entertaining light the many aphorisms and applications of the "heroin-addled guitar player from the projects" who ended up as a "twenty-first century philosopher and urban street guru." One of my favorite sections is "Keith and Nietzsche" where the author finds the wisdom of celebrated philosophers mirrored in quotes from Keith -- "Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced" (Kierkegaard) and "I like the expanding vision of life, of what goes on. I find it a fascinating story -- a great book." (Keith) -- Yes, a great book indeed!

    Not what I want in a book.

    Keith Richards may 'know' himself, but I was hoping for more. More depth, regret or maybe even rebirth. Found the book lacking.

    good book/good gift

    I read this book before I gave it to my Rolling Stones' fan brother for his b-day. Good read, actually inspiring in a weird way.
