Good stuff!

Michael again entertains and delights with his playful reading. Enjoyed hearing (between the lines) the maturity, perspective and focus he's developed over the last few years. I actually think I could listen to this again and that doesn't happen often.

no one can tell the story better than himself

I had lots of laughs when listening, but also learnt to know that he had a tough start in his career.

M J talks a little fast but that's not a problem for me, if that's a problem for you just rewind and listen again, it's worth it.

All Books are absolutely worth the read

I remember coming across MJF books in my early Audible days... I liked his movies and had recently read another actor”s biography and thought... how bad can this one be... I highly recommend reading his books, because he has a way of bringing his experiences across to his readers as very relatable if that is the word for it. He does not see himself as someone above the rest of the world, but rather understands and brings across that understanding of what and who he is, and furthermore the price he paid and more over his loved ones paid for him to be who he is. Despite that, through it all, his constant climb back to finding his optimism, despite very dark times never subsides. And that in itself is a message to remember. It is a little bit like getting to know the elusive boy next door who carries a bright smile and a heavy burden, and gets up every day curious of what comes next.

uplifting

A very quick and easy listen. I would recommend to anyone who needs a lift to their perspective, a graduate who is about to head out into the world or someone who is trying to find their path. it is a reminder that life isn't easy or simple but it can be filled with accomplishment and satisfaction.

read

This is a book every graduating senior should read. It is a quick read and the audio by Fox is wonderful.

Was like an extended commencement speech

Not sure if this book was geared toward young adults. It was a bit cursory and prescriptive.... I would have liked a bit more story telling and may be a little less philosophizing... I do love him though....and I wish him and his family the best....

It was more effective coming from him rather than an interview on tv.
