Non-Fiction Biography
A guide to all kinds of addiction from a star who has
struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food and eBay,
that will help addicts and their loved ones make the first
steps into recovery “This manual for self-realization comes not from a mountain
but from the mud...My qualification is not that I am better
than you but I am worse.” ―Russell Brand With a rare mix of honesty, humor, and compassion, comedian
and movie star Russell Brand mines his own wild story and
shares the advice and wisdom he has gained through his
fourteen years of recovery. Brand speaks to those suffering
along the full spectrum of addiction―from drugs, alcohol,
caffeine, and sugar addictions to addictions to work,
stress, bad relationships, digital media, and fame. Brand
understands that addiction can take many shapes and sizes
and how the process of staying clean, sane, and unhooked is
a daily activity. He believes that the question is not “Why
are you addicted?” but "What pain is your addiction masking?
Why are you running―into the wrong job, the wrong life, the
wrong person’s arms?" Russell has been in all the twelve-step fellowships going,
he’s started his own men’s group, he’s a therapy regular and
a practiced yogi―and while he’s worked on this material as
part of his comedy and previous bestsellers, he’s never
before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that
keep him clean and clear. Here he provides not only a
recovery plan, but an attempt to make sense of the ailing world.
