Reading it felt like someone was reading my mind\u2014the parts I kept hidden and couldn\u2019t imagine saying out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My guest today is&nbsp;<strong>James Frey,<\/strong>&nbsp;the mysterious wizard who authored this sorcery.

He wanted to be bold like them, crafting his own bad boy mythology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conversation explores his literary philosophy, the intersection of creativity and the Tao, and his approach to capturing inspiration\u2014something he calls \u201cprowling with the panther.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richroll.com\/podcast\/james-frey-930\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at RichRoll.com<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from Rich Roll JAMES FREY ADDICTION, CELEBRITY, PUBLIC SHAMING &amp; TRUTH: THE PERFORMANCE ART OF JAMES FREY, CELEBRATED WRITER OF ILL-REPUTE In 2003, a book came out that rocked my world\u2014a book that spoke to the deepest, darkest, and hidden parts of me in ways no other book ever had.
