For almost forty years, Paul Raymond was one Britain's most scandalous celebrities. Best known as the owner of the world famous Raymond Revuebar, he was a successful theatre impresario, property magnate and porn baron. With his pencil moustache, gold jewellery and taste for showgirls, Raymond was both the brash personification of nouveau riche vulgarity and exemplar of the entrepreneurial spirit that enabled a poor boy from Liverpool to become Britain's richest man.

In the heyday of his sleaze empire, with his pencil moustache, gold jewellery and trademark fur coat, Paul Raymond was for many people the brash personification of nouveau riche vulgarity, posing proudly beside his customised Rolls Royce, a fat cigar protruding from his lips, a curvaceous showgirl on either arm. For other people, Margaret Thatcher among them, he exemplified the entrepreneurial spirit that enabled a poor boy from Depression-era Liverpool to become Britain's richest man. Right up until he died on 2 March 2008, he was a controversial figure around whom scandal swirled. Paul Willetts follows Raymond from his strictly Catholic early life to the isolation, paranoia and extreme wealth of his old age.

Interpretations
This is a magical, eye-opening and poetic book of subtle shifting to renewed clarity and self-discovery. Originally conceived as a blog during a shift in the author’s life from Corporate to Conscious, and inspired by the New York Times’ bestselling author Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life, Raymond Paul’s work flows beautifully as he interprets the 81 spiritual verses of the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu’s Tao Te Ching. The author encourages humanity to slow down, breathe, take in and experience the beautiful gift of life. A life of meaning, balance, honour and purpose. The poetry speaks to the way life is supposed to be lived, how the paradoxes we experience affect our everyday lives—the yin and yang—how everything holds opposites. It is about connection—everything as one—and the importance of authentic love. Interpretations speaks about trust, belief, and the ability to be the best that each of us can be, but most of all it is about heart. When we live from the heart, we are living our truth, our calling, and what we are joyfully meant to do. It’s about how to live the Tao.
