Review of The Sleeper Awakes: A Journey to Self-Awareness by Jim Perry

Jim Perry. Probably my favorite TV personality ever. His personable demeanor gave so much pleasure to so many during his years as a game show host and through his other entertainment ventures. In this book Jim takes us on a deeply personal journey chronicling his struggle to find self-worth during a dark time in his life after retiring from the tv spotlight and dealing with the breakup of his marriage of thirty years. Throughout the text his genuine compassion shines through, making this a compelling read. We share his insights as well as his tears, and hopefully emerge just a little bit stronger, a little better, and a little kinder to ourselves. That was what Jim wanted. Rest well, Jim. Love yourself as we love you.
