Asleep (Hypnotic Rhythm) Book Two: Leaving adolescence behind and charging into adulthood (Asleep Series 2) Kindle Edition

by Robert Paul (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (21)

In Robert Paul’s continuing life story, adventure becomes a dangerous synonym for invincibility.

Leaving adolescence behind and charging into adulthood, Robert embraces a bold, reckless freedom—one fueled by lifelong friends, intoxicating nights, and a belief that nothing bad can truly touch him. But a life without direction, purpose, or boundaries can quickly shift from thrilling to life-threatening.

With no roadmap, no plan, and no sense of risk, Robert plunges into a world where self-destruction is always just one decision away. Drugs, alcohol, wild nights, and blind trust in the wrong people shape a path filled with danger. What begins as exploration becomes a high-stakes game with death lurking at the edges.

From Tijuana to Long Beach, from Vegas to the unknown, Robert’s journey is a whirlwind of chaos and adrenaline. His stories are gripping, suspenseful, and at times laugh-out-loud shocking—moments that reveal both the humor and the horror of living without limits.

As he revisits these memories with honesty and maturity, Robert confronts how close he came to losing everything—including his own life.
Hypnotic Rhythm isn’t just about youthful folly; it’s about recognizing the patterns that pull us under and the courage it takes to break free.

Robert Paul was born in the small town of Española, New Mexico. Growing up poor, he was abused by his mother. Being the oldest of four siblings (all born to different fathers), Robert was presented with many challenges early on in life. Subsequently, he was uprooted at six to San Pedro, California—to a different world with serious issues to face. As a young teen, Robert began to drink heavily and added drugs to his already-tumultuous life. From birth to early adulthood—Robert had an extremely challenging existence with his mother that called for an extraordinary effort to heal! Out of the ashes, Robert found a way to become a great father, a successful business owner eventually, completed two marathons, numerous half-marathons, and kicked the drug and alcohol habit on November 2, 2007—never to look back! His story to stop drinking, doing drugs, and to accept himself and others is awe-inspiring! Robert’s mission in life is to help abused children and bring awareness to those little suffering individuals' plight. Besides, Robert reaches out to those afflicted with drug and alcohol dependency with his life coach expertise and an inspirational public speaking ability to transform all he encounters! Robert can be contacted at: asleep@robertpaulcreations.com

This is too good for words
The author, Robert Paul, gave me an Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for an honest review. No strings attached just my honest opinion. I did not know what to anticipate as I read into this, but I have to say, I am far beyond impressed. I feel a sense of belonging as most of this book makes you realize what we really go through in life. We each have our own experiences and to learn how Robert strived and endured through so much is inspiring. I can honestly read through this book more than once and what’s even better is I can keep this treasure forever. One of a kind stories is what you will find by reading into book one and two. Both exceeded my expectations. This will be motivational to so many others. I am so glad to know this is out there for the world to see. I would recommend this to my friends and family which I already have 👍🏻

    5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid journey toward self-awareness
    Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Asleep (Hypnotic Rhythm) offers an unflinchingly honest look at author Robert Paul’s young adult years and the experiences he shared with his “band of brothers.” His compelling storytelling style invites the reader on a series of thrill rides — from the stifling summer heat of Phoenix up through the snowy Pacific Northwest and down dimly lit alleyways in Tijuana. Along the way, he candidly reveals what it’s like to live on the razor’s edge, finding comfort in little else but camaraderie and resourcefulness. Looking back on his adventures 35 years later, Robert analyzes what happened in a way that preserves the thrill of youth while instilling thoughtful wondering about what might have changed the course of those in his circle. It’s a captivating read that will make you reflect with greater awareness on the power of human engagement, empathy and potential.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Easy read, very fast-paced
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I am a fellow author like Mr. Paul. He reached out to me on All Author and asked if I would read this 2nd book in his series and then provide an honest review. I agreed and he is doing the same for my chronic illness & spiritual memoir entitled, "Behind the Tapestry: My Discovery of God's Grace Amidst Chronic Pain & Loss."

    Not having read Book 1 in the series, I was a little lost as Book 2 picked up where 1 left off. I found Mr. Paul's adventures to be funny, entertaining, and quite the "wild ride." However, this is not the kind of memoir I'm used to reading. It is significantly different from my own memoir. And having vastly different life experiences from Mr. Paul's, I found myself struggling to connect to the storyline and to his cast of many "colorful" characters.

    Although Mr. Paul's writing is superb, I had a hard time with some of the language used. This book is surely not for the "faint of heart."

    If you've had similar life experiences to those described in this book, then perhaps you will find it helpful, fun, adventurous, & maybe even inspiring. But since a lot of Mr. Paul's exploits were very different from my own, I just didn't feel invested in the story.

    The author takes us on a journey through the uphill battles of his life. From his beginning with an abusive mother to his fight to free himself from the deadly grips of drugs and alcohol abuse, the readers watch Robert Paul transform into a responsible adult. Not everyone is dealt the same hand in life, but It only matters what we do with the hand we are dealt.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible and unique memoir
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    Surprisingly, I loved Book 2 of Robert Paul’s “Asleep Hypnotic Rhythm” even more than Book 1. However, you must read Book 1 before diving into this second memoir, as it picks up right where Book 1 leaves off. In the first book of the author’s three memoirs, the reader discovers what Robert Paul’s life was like from infancy through his late teens and how those life events have shaped him. The crucial definition of ‘hypnotic rhythm’ is learned and as you follow along with the narrative it is soon realized that Robert doesn’t just want to share his personal story but to relate to the reader by showing others that despite our circumstances we have the power to make our lives extraordinary.
    Book 2 is very different than Book 1 as it builds upon the events and people from the first book. It is a wild ride that will take the reader through the twists, turns, and eureka moments of the author's late teen through young adult life. I cried, was mystified at times, and laughed for days at the stunts and decisions Robert made with his ‘band of renegades’ (introduced in the previous book). As the pages turn it is hard to put this one down as the next adventure awaits just a page or two beyond the one that is being read. I looked forward to each chapter, to say the least since I couldn’t wait to see what stunt would be pulled or what crazy event would take place! This memoir made me think with a smile of my youth and some of the adventurous events that occurred in mine. However, it also reminded me that many people in this world don’t have the role models, foundation, and self-belief needed to learn from their mistakes and not repeat them. ‘Man alone has the power to establish his own rhythm of thought, providing he exercises this privilege before hypnotic rhythm has forced upon him the influences of his environment.’ One of my favorite quotes from this book and in my opinion, no truer words have been spoken. I’m excitedly waiting on Book 3 and can’t wait to see what happens in the next chapter of Robert Paul’s life.

    Mr Paul has certainly had an interesting life. In this well-written tale of his post-teen days, you get to hear his tales of young men in the prime of their lives. Full of entertaining characters and amusing incidents, this book may even make you wish you'd been along for the ride! A fine snapshot of an era of America that will not sadly be seen again.
