A ‘exciting’ (MetroSource) collection of uncensored, confessional, and at times outrageously funny essays about coming of age, developing, as well as the wildest encounters that define us.

Collecting one of the most celebrated stories through the hit podcast RISK!, along with all-new true tales on the subject of explosive secrets and off-the-wall escapades, this reserve paints a spellbinding portrait of the transformational occasions we experience in lifestyle but rarely talk about. No topics are off-limits in RISK!, no on the subject of RISK!: True Stories People By no means Thought They’d Dare to Share memories too uncovering to talk about. From accidentally harboring a teenager fugitive to getting poisoned even though tripping on LSD in the Mayan ruins, these tales transport readers into uncharted territory and display how your life can change when you take an extraordinary leap.

In these jaw-dropping stories, edited and introduced by RISK! web host Kevin Allison, writers reveal how they forced drugs for any Mexican cartel only to end up kidnapped and almost killed, the way they joined a terrifying male-empowerment cult and fought desperately for a way out, the way they battled with pregnancy problems and found a hero where they least expected it, therefore much more. A lifelong structure worker shares the intimate details of transitioning to being a female, a bestselling author discusses how he assumed the identity of his babysitter on the web inside a cultural experiment gone awry, and a beloved comedian discusses how a blow job from a prostitute transformed his life. By changes cautionary and uplifting, RISK! presents an extraordinary panorama from the breadth of human being experience and a stunning tribute to the energy of the truth to set us free.
