{"product_id":"may-i-be-frank-transformational-memoir","title":"May I Be Frank: Transformational Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"What happens when Tony Soprano meets Deepak Chopra? That's how people have described my story. I might throw some Woody Allen in there and a dash of Hunter S. Thompson.\" So says Frank Ferrante of his amazing journey from obesity and drug addiction to vibrant health and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 54 years old, Ferrante was the least likely candidate for a major personal transformation. He weighed close to 300 pounds and suffered from a slew of issues that were his unhappy legacy as an ex-junkie and ex-alcoholic: hepatitis C, chronic fatigue, joint pain, respiratory issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, and a libido that had gone into early retirement. He thought that \"vegan\" was a planet, \"wellness\" was not in his vocabulary, and he couldn't be bothered with self-help. He was for those very reasons the best candidate for a major personal transformation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day, he stumbled into Cafe Gratitude--a vegan raw food restaurant run by three 20-something hipsters. Unbeknownst to him, they'd been thinking about finding someone to put on a raw food diet and making a documentary that would be the polar opposite of Super Size Me. Ferrante was looking for something, anything, to create a shift in his life. As he says, \"Like zillions of people, I was hungry not so much for food, but for love.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever mind that he was old enough to be the boys' father or that he'd ridiculed the New Age herd for years--he accepted them pretty much on the spot as his new \"transformational cheerleaders.\" With the young men's unexpected support and guidance, Ferrante began a redemptive odyssey that included a plant-based diet, yoga, and daily affirmations--but then faced a battle for his life when his underlying addictions rose up to claim him. May I Be Frank chronicles Ferrante's experience of being the subject of a physical, mental, and spiritual makeover and also describes what happened next, post-transformation: he learned to love again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LatestBuy","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":54167479484762,"sku":"PD1MYKO01","price":37.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/7197\/1807\/files\/pd1myko01-1200a.jpg?v=1779120444","url":"https:\/\/www.clicktofournisseur.com\/cs\/products\/may-i-be-frank-transformational-memoir","provider":"clicktofournisseur.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
