About this listen

The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller, written and read by Russell Brand.

This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all encompassing and ubiquitous that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it.

What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what?

My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse. I am an addict, addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, money, love and fame.

The program in Recovery has given Russell Brand freedom from all addictions and it will do the same for you.

This system offers nothing less than liberation from self-centredness, a new perspective, freedom from the illusion of suffering for anyone who is willing to take the necessary steps.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Brilliantly written Russell is a genius. Love his interpretation of the 12 steps. I get it now!!! Not drank since and the difference this time.... I don't even want to! I feel free and in control I am giving life a try. I want to give Russell a hug for giving me my life back!

My epiphany. The end of my 10y battle to stop.

Very well narrated, but you need to go to his website for parts, (e.g. interactive elements of the 12 steps)

Enjoyable

I'm not a guy who swears, but Russell uses the F word to full effect, and it is appropriate when in the context of "life is messed up!"

It's challenging to look at ones own life in the context of the foibles, addictive and compulsive behaviors that mitigate against the possibility of a rich contribution to society not based on what one can gain but what one can give.

He presents here a rehash of the twelve step program but gives it a vitally and veracity that is very appealing. He himself is self deprecating, aware of his privileged position yet it is clear it's not come easy and there has been a high price. Particularly resonance for me (not my experience) from empathy was the young child that felt he was the cause of his mothers cancer! Like Russell my rage and foibles in life are also against my Mother and abandoned, and no rationalizing can soothe the void within. Russell has with bravery talked the demons within and the last chapter where he is at the birth of his daughter is all consuming in drawing you in. He is a great story teller/narrator earthy, witty, wise, a dexterity seldom seen, I loved his work here. I'm not ready to take the steps he advocates but I did find I have ears that hear.

Funny, Frank, Thought Provoking, and Evangelical

An excellently written, captivatingly narrated account of what it is to be human. Russell Brand's insightful and highly personal autobiography is nothing short of inspiring eye-opening and revelatory. An excellent read, all the better for being narrated by Brand himself in his inimitable expressive, intelligent and captivating style.

I cannot praise this book highly enough.
