Summary of Mikel Jollett's Hollywood Park

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I drop two classes and get put on academic probation. I meet some kids from Foothill College at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting off campus. I change my major from biology to history and psychology. #2 The Game was a method of getting through the hardened defenses of drug addicts, similar to AA, but it was actually a form of brainwashing.
It lasted days, sometimes entire weekends. #3 I wonder about the kids in the orphanage, and where they are and what they're doing. I wonder if they feel just as bewildered about their place in the world as I do. #4 The theory of attachment states that we base our relationships on the attachments we form with our parents early in life. The children of Synanon, who were raised in a cult, may have experienced loneliness like shame, as they imagined the reason they were alone was because there was something wrong with them.
