Scar Tissue is nonfiction
Scar Tissue is a book about the singer named Anthony Kiedis, who is in the band The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He tells his story of growing up and doing drugs as a young kid. He had a major drug abuse and addiction issue that caused many problems for him down the road. His band helped him solve his issues with drugs after much trial and error.
In the first part of the book, Anthony explains how he had his first drug experience with his father when he was 11 years old and how long it went on. The second part is about how his band became popular, and he was doing severe drugs with his bandmate Hillel Slovak. After Slovak's death, Anthony did not attend the funeral. He was without his best friend and did not know what to do with himself; it caused more issues down the road for Anthony because his drug addiction became more severe. Finally near the end, as of December 24th, 2000, Anthony Kiedis is clean and sober.
It is a good book to read if you are interested in "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" or if you just want an interesting read. Through much trial and error with Anthony's life, he is still one of the greatest singers of all time. It is good to understand that even with the mistakes in your life, you can still become successful and achieve your goals.

Ego is the Enemy is nonfiction
Ego is the Enemy focuses on helping people in life with tasks they think they are too good for. Ryan Holiday, the author, discusses many real-life events and things he achieved while maintaining a very good ego. Ryan never finished college. He dropped out of school when he was 19 years old. He wanted to become a writer and became one that a lot of people look up to. His work helps young students, mostly athletes, know what real life is about. Young kids these days think everything is about them and that everything revolves around them. In sports, for example, you will always have that one guy who thinks he is better and doesn't have to work as hard as other people.
Midway through the book, Holiday gives brief examples of how to overcome having a big ego and how you can become more successful in life if you help others before you make it about yourself.
I believe using examples from the book and putting them into your own life will greatly affect your life and others around you in many different ways. There is always something you can do to help someone no matter the circumstance. I recommend this book to young athletes because I strongly believe if you take examples from here it can turn your team around quickly.
