I summarized Stan’s story.  In the first few chapters he starts his story by talking about his relationship with his dad, including hotdogs and sports. After his father didn’t give him money to hire a lawyer, he realized that his father didn’t care about him. When Stan was 17, he often walk along the streets at night and watch the pimps and prostitutes passed by. Once, he met Carolyn. They formed an romantic relationship but Stan was the one who fall into the trap. Then he went to Florida and joined a sales team.   He met a new girl named LInda. “I used people before they used me.” However,  Stan’s finance going to Linda.  Stan opened to lying, stealing, and cheating to please LInda. “See, jail and prison are not really about bricks and bars to me. It’s not about shackles and chains and guards and guns and razor-wire fences.” At the end of this book, Stan found himself no longer connected to negative thinking and appreciated Mr. Coogan’s help.
