Born into a broken, fatherless home, Ricardo Chin grew up with one thing in mind: inflicting suffering back on a world that had failed him. 

By his teens, he was involved in violent street fights, always carrying a weapon with him for protection. In his early 20s, and still struggling to make sense of the environment in which he was raised, he became a Royal Marine Commando. In the eyes of the military, he would be doing his duty; in his own troubled mind, however, he had joined because he wanted to kill people.

Wounded in action on the battlefield in Afghanistan, Ricardo moved into close protection in post-war Iraq but found the insecurities that had plagued him all his life soon followed. Embarking on a hero’s journey that led to the ancient tribal wisdom of South America, he made a transformative discovery: there’s a higher purpose to existence – one built on love, not hate.

A Few Words from an Absolute Nobody is the record of one man’s inspirational journey from unconsciousness to awakening, with profound lessons for all of humanity. It’s only by stepping back from the mental warzones we inhabit daily that we will learn the fight for survival is already won. Beneath the uniform of our flesh lies an inextinguishable energy; beyond the personal hardships and challenges, a masterplan for our spiritual evolution. 

The universe is calling to us … we just need to stop and listen.
