About this listen

Dive into the chaotic, scandalous, and unbelievably true story of the Mozes family, a saga that proves truth is stranger – and far more entertaining – than fiction. Zack Mozes lays bare his family's spectacular rollercoaster of betrayal, legal battles, and epic bad decisions that would make even the most seasoned reality TV producer blush.

From a seemingly idyllic life in California to a cross-country fugitive hunt, this memoir chronicles a family's descent into chaos. Witness the collapse of a once-thriving business, a father's vanishing act, a mother's shocking alliance with the prosecution, and a stash of cash hidden in Miami lockers. It's a tale of shattered trust, courtroom drama, and the struggle to rebuild a life amidst the wreckage. Zack comes out on-top!

With raw honesty and dark humor, High Times, Hard Lessons explores the complexities of family loyalty, the sting of public judgment, and the surprising resilience of the human spirit. This is a story you won't soon forget – a wild ride through a family's implosion and one man's journey to find his own path.

Brutally Honest and Weirdly Comforting!

There’s something strangely comforting about hearing someone own up to their mistakes so openly. It made me reflect on my own priorities and rethink what I value in life.

Easy to listen!

I thought I was just in for an entertaining story, but this audiobook got personal real fast. The way the narrator opens up about his mistakes and ego felt painfully real. It reminded me how easy it is to lose yourself when things start going well.

Money Isn’t Everything

At first, it sounded like a dream life—fame, fun, fast money. But the truth behind it was really sad. This story shows that having everything doesn't mean you're happy inside.
