He says, “I can’t believe Unbreakable Rhythm is finally out in the world. This book is a piece of my heart — a journey through struggle, resilience, and the beat that carried me forward. I’m honored to have so many special guests from all walks of life be part of this book, from music to wellness, each shaping the rhythm that brought me here. My hope is that anyone who reads it finds strength in their own rhythm.”

“A lot of musicians write books to share their stories, from their creative lives to their crazy tour tales to more scandalous moments. This is not that book,” Zummo says.
“From the beginning, my mission was seeing how these workshop events were saving lives first-hand, motivating and inspiring people. I do five to seven events a year—a small amount compared to the sheer size of the world. I want to be able to have this message be around the world. That’s why this is in a book: Because I can’t be everywhere I want to be,” he adds.
Zummo concludes, “The goal is to put what I do—and the message—into a book to inspire people, motivate them, and supply them with the resources to get help. And then take all this stuff and intertwine it obviously with stories of what I’ve experienced.”
