Summary

If my goal in these pages were to present a comprehensive set of advice and maxims to guide life, I would have to repeat the numerous rules, some of them excellent, that have been elaborated by thinkers of all ages, from Theognis and Solomon 1 to La Rochefoucauld; and in doing so, I would inevitably impose on the reader a great deal of trite and hackneyed platitudes. But the fact is that in this work I claim even less to exhaust the subject than in any of my other writings.

    “The way to reach God’s will is to go through life's trials & struggles. It means that to achieve any sort of heavenly state we must be tested. We 
are guaranteed to fail some of those tests. That's ok as long as we learn from them and find the strength to continue traveling the road. We 
become stronger by overcoming our failures and ultimately find the strength to reach our destination.” 
“Larry is a modern-day crusader, The Larry Ray Hardin that you will see in much of this book is a younger, angrier version than the one I came 
to know in San Diego. What makes Larry’s journey great is not just that he refused to be lured in by corruption as he walked the path through 
hell. What makes it great is that he learned from his failures along the way, replaced anger with wisdom, and continued to walk the road to 
heaven.”

    The ultimate front-row seat to Hootie & the Blowfish and Jim “Soni" Sonefeld’s breathtaking path from addiction to recovery. 
 
For a time, there was no bigger band in the world than Hootie & the Blowfish—rock & roll’s unexpected foil to the grunge music that dominated the early ’90s airwaves. Jim Sonefeld, drummer and one of the group’s principal songwriters,  
reveals their humble beginnings, meteoric rise, Grammy Award–winning musicianship, sudden fall, and ultimate rebirth—and opens his heart to readers about addiction, recovery, and faith. 
 
Hootie’s debut album Cracked Rear View was one of the bestselling in the history of rock music. It saturated radio airwaves, television, and culture, and placed the quartet at the center of the American music conversation—for better and for  
worse. Though Jim enjoyed the perks that came with fame—the parties, the relationships, the money, the drugs and alcohol—eventually it all became a camouflage that hid a deeper spiritual malady. As his life careened toward  
disaster, he sought relief in twelve-step recovery, eventually devoting himself to a loving but by no means uncomplicated home life. 
 
Swimming with the Blowfish is an unpretentious, emotional story of one man’s spiritual path to a more fruitful life. Jim’s journey is staggering and redeeming, and ultimately as comforting as your favorite flannel shirt.
