Here is an autobiography that only a clinical psychologist could write. Dr. Munter's story shows how she became a person with an impatience for passivity, taking risk after risk, each in its own way bigger than the last, weaving all the elements into a life lived authentically and cliche-free. This book contrasts with externally-oriented achievement lists found in many life stories, which seldom tell the inner workings of the individual. Almost Famous can be enjoyed on several levels. It's more than an entertaining tale of life on the fringes of show business. It could also be called, "How to develop a sense of self" and survive in a world that is not always fair.
