Hunter S. Thompson’s advice on finding purpose in life is something everyone should read.

Hunter S. Thompson burst onto the American literary scene in 1966 with “Hell’s Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs,” a harrowing account of the time he spent embedded with the renegade club.  

Thompson would forever change the face of journalism with his “gonzo” style in which he put himself in the center of the story.

In his most popular and acclaimed work, 1971’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” Thompson, under the guise of Raoul Duke, drove a red Caprice to Sin City with a briefcase full of drugs on a search for the American dream.
