8 DARK LESSONS ABOUT DESIRE, GUILT, AND HUMAN NATURE - Reflections Inspired by Themes in Original Sin by Jake Tapper (Personal Reflection) Let’s start with a story. In 1980, John DeLorean seemed to have it all. He was tall, dark, wildly charismatic. He had come from a high-ranking job at General Motors to start his own car company. He had a dream, a gull-winged sports car built of stainless steel, futuristic, unlike anything else on the road. He named it the DeLorean DMC-12. It was sleek. It was sexy. And it was doomed. Just three years later, DeLorean was arrested in a Los Angeles hotel room for attempting to sell $24 million worth of cocaine. The money, he claimed, would save his company. The government claimed otherwise. And though DeLorean was ultimately acquitted on a defense of entrapment, his name was now associated not with innovative cars, but with scandal. The car flopped. The company folded. And the dream burned. What happened? t a surface level, it seems to be nothing but a straightforward story about hubris. A man who got too close to the sun. But tales like DeLorean’s are never so straightforward. Grab a copy of this book now!
