Most people know Peter Tork as the dim-witted bass player from The Monkees. However, the real Peter Tork, as revealed in his own words, was a man of extraordinary philosophical and intellectual depth. His innate need to share wisdom with whomever might benefit was something that truly brightened his soul.
Throughout his life, Peter suffered with isolation, addiction, low self-worth, destitution, and cancer - among other things - only to take each of these life lessons and grow through them, always looking for ways to better himself and share his knowledge.
The quotes in these pages - which have been compartmentalized into relevant sections - come from his advice column, Ask Peter Tork, posts from his official Facebook page, personal emails, and other sources ranging from 1966 right up until February 2019, just two days before he passed away.
Need help with your marriage? Go to the chapter on relationships. Been diagnosed with an illness? Find out ways to deal. Want to know what Davy Jones was really like? Ask Peter Tork.
Peter believed that this human journey should not be trod alone, that hope and help is always available, and that we all have the ability - no matter our history - to choose to live our best life, starting right now.
Let him convince you.
