About this listen

New York Times Bestseller

Fame. Sex. Pain. Drugs. Death. Booze. Money. Addiction. Redemption. Dizzying heights. Rock-bottom depths. Desperation and elation - sometimes in the same hour. Not to mention power...and the struggle for it.

The world knows Lamar Odom as a two-time NBA world champion who rocketed to uncharted heights of fame thanks to being a member of both the storied Los Angeles Lakers and the ubiquitous Kardashian empire.

But who is Lamar, really?

Fans have long praised his accessibility and genuine everyman quality - he is a blinding talent who has suffered a series of heartaches, setback, and loss. But until now, his most candid moments have remained behind closed doors...sometimes face-down on the floor.

In Darkness to Light, Lamar gives listeners an intimate look into his life like never before. His exclusive and revealing memoir recounts the highs and lows of fame and his struggle with his demons along the way to self-discovery and redemption. From the pain of his unraveled marriage to Khloé Kardashian to the harmful vices he used to cope - and the near-death experience that made him rethink everything about his life - this is Lamar as you have never before seen him.

Lamar brings basketball fans directly into the action of a game during the Lakers' championship years. He shares his personal account of the lifelong passion that started as one shining light in a childhood marked by loss and led to his international fame as one of the most extraordinary athletes of all time. In this profoundly honest book, Lamar invites you to walk with him through the good times and bad, while looking ahead to a brighter future.

Unfortunately L.O never had anyone to console him after his mom's passing. As a result I hear a man who refused to take responsibility for himself, who made bad decision after bad decision, and who allowed his emotions to overrule his logic. The 'not so favorable' events which had taken place in LO's life is truly of his own doing. An emotional dependent who didn't know how to love himself. If only his mother's last words were "Be nice to YOURSELF", then maybe that would've given him the courage to respect himself more. After his mom's passing, he wasn't taught to understand the meaning of life – nobody shared this to his soul, and he chose not to seek it.

Listening to this memoir did make me feel emotionally depressed at times; I could feel his emptiness – lights were on; but nobody was home! LO had checked out.

I pray that he now appriciates the lessons in his life, and is thankful for this earthly experience.

Love saved his life. Now its up to him, as it always was, to save himself. ❤️

It's a lot to take in. The heaviness was real.
