Reviews
"A thought-provoking explication of the 12-step program run through the Mixmaster of Mr. Brand's verbal pyrotechnics . . . spellbinding . . . stunning." -- The New York Times "A no B.S. program to conquer all." -- Us Weekly "Russell Brand brings an exhaustive and profound understanding of what it means to be felled by addiction and how to stand back up again. It is potentially there in all of us." -- Men's Health "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." -- InRecovery Magazine "Transformative . . . entertaining and easy to read . . . eye-popping." -- The Guardian "Russell Brand is a gift to this world! His ability to translate how to transform your life using modern language and humor is an invaluable resource for a new generation. This book is a must read!" --Tony Robbins, New York Times bestselling author of Unshakable: Your Financial Freedom Playbook and Money: Master the Game "This is a brave and useful book, that I read in one day. It offers real insight into addiction and the stuff that drives it and Russell has done a great service in tackling the classic twelve steps in a non-reverential and totally entertaining kind of way that will help a lot of people. It feels wrong to say it is an addictive read, given the subject, but it really is. Russell doesn't just want to save our souls he wants to entertain us on the way." --Matt Haig, author of How to Stop Time and Reasons to Stay Alive " Recovery should be read by the world." --Ruby Wax, author of Sane New World "The premise of his program is that the 12 steps followed by Alcoholics Anonymous can work for anyone. Recovery is the 12 steps, as translated by Russell Brand." -- Sunday Times (UK) "While the insights are not original, the experience of them is unique and it's Brand's own story that gives the book its energy. For anyone with an abiding interest in Russell Brand." -- The Observer (UK) "Personally it always struck me as a bit unfair that only raging alcoholics and hopeless drug addicts got to practice the 12 steps, given how they provide such an invaluable emotional toolbox?now, thanks to the vision (his critics might say the ego) of Russell Brand, they are available to all." --Suzanne Harrington, Irish Examiner "There is no better lesson to be learnt than by someone who has lived it. And with that in mind, Russell Brand is a man to listen to. Carefully. Beneath the performance he talks sense. A lot of it." -- Stylist (UK) "One of his most endearing qualities is his emotional honesty--his openness about his flaws and ignorance, and his confidence despite them." --CALM (UK), Praise for My Booky Wook :"A child's garden of vices, My Booky Wook is also a relentless ride with a comic mind clearly at the wheel... .The bloke can write. He rhapsodizes about heroin better than anyone since Jim Carroll... .Russell Brand has a compelling story."- New York Times Book Review "There is nothing [Brand] won't reveal in search of a laugh and nothing he hasn't done in search of love or experience or oblivion... An exceptional combination of candor, ardor, and humor."- The Guardian, "A thought-provoking explication of the 12-step program run through the Mixmaster of Mr. Brand's verbal pyrotechnics . . . spellbinding . . . stunning." -- The New York Times "A no B.S. program to conquer all." -- Us Weekly "Russell Brand brings an exhaustive and profound understanding of what it means to be felled by addiction and how to stand back up again.

CONTENTS Acknowledgements Introduction The Twelve Steps 1. Are you a bit fucked? 2. Could you not be fucked? 3. Are you, on your own, going to 'unfuck' yourself? 4. Write down all the things that are fucking you up or have ever fucked you up and don't lie, or leave anything out. 5. Honestly tell someone trustworthy about how fucked you are. 6. Well that's revealed a lot of fucked up patterns. Do you want to stop it? Seriously? 7. Are you willing to live in a new way that's not all about you and your previous, fucked up stuff? You have to. 8. Prepare to apologize to everyone for everything affected by your being so fucked up. 9. Now apologize. Unless that would make things worse. 10. Watch out for fucked up thinking and behaviour and be honest when it happens. 11. Stay connected to your new perspective. 12. Look at life less selfishly, be nice to everyone, help people if you can. 13. Re:Birth Conclusion The Program Resources
Synopsis
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.
