99% True

Almost a National Bestseller

De: Paul McGowan

Narrado por: Paul McGowan

Paul McGowan tells all (and then some) in this riotous tale of misbegotten success that’s 99 percent true in all the best ways. From his not-so-innocent youth growing up in the shadow of Disneyland and summer evenings in the innocent 1950s, to his dope-smoking, snake-eating, draft-dodging, loony-bin misadventure through Europe, to his struggles to build a thriving enterprise from a stack of dusty albums - see how the CEO of a worldwide company took 50 years to become an overnight success.

Unlike Paul, you may never get picked up by the secret service or carry the shame of bankruptcy, but you just might see yourself in his repeated failures or in his refusal to let life keep him down. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry as Paul describes the struggle of finding his place in a community you never knew existed. Through it all, you’ll discover what Paul did: life’s detours offer the best opportunities to find your way.

an absolutely wonderful listen Paul

Paul illustrates with both emotion and feeling the touches you and invokes a response of feeling and emotion within one's own self
highly recommend listening

Not what I expected, but better.

I’ve followed Paul on YouTube for quite a while and, being an electrical engineer myself, expected his life story to follow certain milestones based on assumptions I had made. It definitely did not, and was one delightful surprise after another throughout. If you’re a fan of PS Audio or an Audiophile in general the insight to the industry is worth the listen.

Not at all what I was expecting!!! And that’s a good thing.

I got this Book because I love music, it’s my Drug of choice. Always has been. I expected this book to basically be Paul grows up, has some adventures, starts PS Audio struggles, leaves and starts Genesis, things happen..., Paul leave and goes back to his “Baby”.... and bla, bla, bla...

I couldn’t have been more WRONG!

This book was captivating, entertaining & fun. I had trouble putting it down. Ok, well I drove around the block 10 times until the end of the chapter I was listening to.

If your on the fence just buy this book and turn it up to 11.

An interesting ride!

Was enjoyable to go through his life. Paul was excellent in narrating. My life has been so living by the rules, was interesting to experience with him, a very different experience.

We need more Paul McGowans!

As long time subscriber to the PS Audio YouTube channel I was excited to know of Paul's and PS Audios history. Paul's book does not disappoint in the least! I look forward to the day I can make a trip to Boulder and listen to and tour all of what PS Audio has to offer.

Well spoken life journey

I've been an audiophile since my Vietnam Veteran father gave me my first stereo system bought overseas. I was always the envy of my peers with those beautiful Sanusi SP-X9700 speakers blasting tunes with the help of a Pioneer SX-850. I recently discovered Paul's YouTube videos amd enjoy them. I'm unsure if I'll purchase any PS products, but I did enjoy his story and colorful narration. This is one I can listen to again, just for pure enjoyment. Thanks Paul !

Transparent

Transparent Paul just like the music gears we seek.

And with leaves me with some low rumble laughs too

An Audiophile's must

Loved it!!! A direct continuum to AskPaul's videos. A unique story of Paul's evolution from childhood to being one of the industries leaders & pioneer

Surprised by Paul's Story

After watching Paul on YouTube for quite a while I was surprised to hear about all his escapades on his path to PS Audio success.

I liked Paul's story and how he read it made it interesting and enjoyable.

what an extraordinary adventure.

I bought this book based on the fact that I buy their products,but this isn't about stereo equipment this is about an amazing journey through life . Paul has truly lived. and continues to live each day to its fullest.. A tale about true Passion and success and failure and success. Thank you Paul for the adventure I felt like I was there with you
