“That, dear reader, is what happens when you let your blind spots get the best of you.”

One day you’re on top of the world, the next you’re chained in a jail cell on Rikers Island. It turns out that actions have consequences.

Gregory Blotnick lived a life of excess, spending money as fast as he could make it. At age thirty, he had everything a man could ever want. It still wasn’t enough. Driven by unchecked ambition and vainglory, he risked it all on himself with no plan B. . . only to discover what happens when burning the boats goes horribly wrong. Each time he thought he'd hit rock bottom, an even rockier bottom laid in wait beneath it. But just when he thought that he’d lost everything a man can possibly lose, he found what really matters.

Written from two jails and a rehab clinic, Blind Spots is a shocking, dark and searingly honest memoir, a rollercoaster of decadent highs and soul-crushing lows, and a cautionary tale of how your greatest weakness is always your greatest strength taken too far.
