Ten years of this young addict's life, some good but many very bad, is written so fast-paced that you may just finish it in one sitting. The author's saga of leapfrogging from job to job without empathetic guidance conveys a struggle that is often experienced but rarely written about in the Indo-Caribbean community of South Ozone Park, Queens, New York. Decade of Discovery charts the course of Rohan Narine, an aspiring meditator who is told by a South African Vedanta teacher to read a philosophical text that forever changes both his physical and spiritual selves. Nearly losing himself in his battle with addiction, Rohan cycles through twelve different professions over the course of ten years, oftentimes being fired, only to realize that his truest path is a return to the selfless advice he received at the start of his journey. Written in an intensely gripping and candid first-person view, Decade of Discovery is a non-stop page-turning memoir that speaks to all young South Asian male addicts who need to take the first step and admit that they are addicts, and once doing so, everything else turns back in the right direction.
