'If I'm going to tell the story of a life, my life, then I need to tell it warts and all. If the tale is too saccharine sweet then what can the reader take away from it? What do they learn about you? I've written everything down. The shit, the death, fun, naughtiness, addiction, laughter, laughter, laughter, some tears and lots of love and happiness. That to me is a better reflection of a human's life.' Nick's family life was difficult, blighted by alcoholism, illness and sudden misfortune meaning they lost everything overnight. He left school early and drifted from job to job dogged by his own personal demons. It's something of a miracle that Nick survived and even more that he would achieve such success with his writing, acting and comedy. In Truths, Half Truths and Little White Lies Nick paints a brilliantly funny, moving and brutally candid portrait of childhood, adolescence and eventual success.

Many books attempt to teach us how to live this life in love, peace and harmony. However, few thoroughly explain why we encounter outer obstacles and inner conflict. White Lies Dark Truth explains in detail how every person creates a belief system, starting at birth, based upon the influence of others. The ideas and concepts that we accept become belief structures ingrained in our consciousness. There are over six billion people on Earth, and all of them go through life believing as they do because of what they have been told. Each person measures their success and happiness according to someone else's ideas, including those of their parents, their peers, the media, government, politics, and religion- just to name a few. White Lies Dark Truth shows us that our conflicts spring from attempting to take newly discovered truths and fit them into an old belief structure that is made up of repetitions of half-truths, untruths, dogma, and illusions that have been passed down through the ages. The journey of discovery is one of personal transformation and conflicts can be resolved by exchanging truth for the white lies we have been taught. Our view of reality must change, if we are to survive. Based on author's 23 years of research, study, and practice in both Eastern and Western philosophy White Lies Dark Truth: -Focuses on the physical and psychological impediments to happiness, success, peace, love, and spiritual growth; -Challenges the reader to examine their present belief structure; -Guides readers through the self-discovery process; -Helps readers assess where they are now and pinpoint areas in their lives that require change or further development; -Suggests alternatives to traditional concepts, ideas and thinking. Beginning with present awareness, White Lies Dark Truth embarks readers on a journey within. Imagine you are traveling to New York and there are many different routes to get there. The route you take depends upon the point where your journey begins.
