Discover this laugh-out-loud story of Rod's rollercoaster life from penthouse to the slammer in his candid memoir.
Rod Halsted has lived a life most wouldn't dare to imagine - from crashing cars, dealing drugs and doing time, arrest records in four states and sharing a drink with Bob Hawke, trouble was never far.
In this memoir he takes you on a wild ride through addiction, crime, and redemption, all wrapped in the irreverent humour of a true Aussie larrikin. Take My Advice, I’m Not Using It! is as much a confession as it is a celebration of resilience.
