"A self-help book for anyone who just needs to cut through the crap
of everyday life and find some peace and acceptance in a world of
chaos." --Jim Lindberg, lead singer of Pennywise and author of Punk
Rock Dad
"We often think of spirituality as something soft and shiny,
practiced in serene places far from the grit of everyday life. This
book's not that. Miguel Chen turns spirituality on its head by
inviting us into his world--the punk realm of dark rock halls,
f&#k you's, and loud music--and he challenges us to find
spirituality amid the noise and chaos. This is a book of self-care
for a world that increasingly resembles a mosh pit." --Jason
Garner, author of . . . And I Breathed.
"[An] inspiring memoir...there are important lessons to be gained
from Chen's experience. Those who find Noah Levine's punk rock
approach to East Asian practices valuable will be comfortable
here.''--Publisher's Weekly
"Miguel Chen's I Wanna Be Well is an honest and thoughtful approach
to mindfulness. The book is full of insight and succinct ideas for
anyone looking to expand their viewpoint and live well. A
comfortable and fun read for intellectual and pinhead punks
alike."--Trever Keith, singer for Face To Face
"Much in the spirit of Dharma Punx, Get In The Van, or even Please
Kill Me, Miguel Chen has done something important with this book.
And I'm gonna stop feeling self-conscious about listening to DRI
while doing yoga."--Zach Blair, guitarist for Rise Against
