Racing to Enlightenment by Philip Cotton offers up a wholly original and one-of-a-kind life story that demonstrates how life can lead us to all the right places through some of the most unlikely paths. Author Cotton shares the deeply personal and highly entertaining story of his life addicted to speed, living on the edge, and motorcycles. From a young age the "need for speed" was an ever-present urge in Cotton. There were no aspects of his life that were not touched by this drive to distraction: career choices, relationships with women, and especially Cotton's relationship with himself were all pushed to the edge. But, not unlike others who have journeyed the circuitous roads of personal growth, it would take a near death experience of unparallel fear and dread to pull Cotton back to life in a new and fundamental way. Written in frank and refreshing prose, Racing to Enlightenment is a book that will relate to gear-heads everywhere, or anyone who loves a great story well told.
