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 βThis 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.β ―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 βWhy are you addicted?β but "What pain is your addiction masking? Why are you running―into the wrong job, the wrong life, the wrong personβs arms?" Russell has been in all the twelve-step fellowships going, heβs started his own menβs group, heβs a therapy regular and a practiced yogi―and while heβs worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous bestsellers, heβs 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.
