This week WAWTAR is joined by nonother than Gregory David Roberts, international best selling author of Shantaram and The Mountain Shadow. He is also a singer/songwriter, speaker, and seeker of deeper meaning and spirituality. This week John and GDR discuss what it means to be truly human, finding deep meaning in life, and a little on sacrifice.
