Could happiness lie in helping others and being open to accepting help yourselfMentorsthe follow up to Sunday Times number one bestseller, Recovery describes the benefits of seeking and offering help. I have mentors in every area of my life, as a comic, a dad, a recovering drug addict, a spiritual being and as a man who believes that we, as individuals and the great globe itself, are works in progress and that through a chain of mentorship we can improve individually and globally, togetherOne of the unexpected advantages my drug addiction granted is that the process of recovery that I practise includes a mentorship tradition.I will encourage you to find mentors of your own and explain how you may better use the ones you already have Further, I will tell you about my experiences mentoring others and how invaluable that has been on my ongoing journey to self acceptance and how it has helped me to transform from a bewildered and volatile vagabond to a mostly present and usually focussed husband and fatherMentors How to Help and Be Helped describes the impact that a series of significant people have had on the author from the wayward youths he tried to emulate growing up in Essex, through the first ex junkie sage, to the people he turns to today to help him be a better father It explores how we all consciously and unconsciously choose guides, mentors and heroes throughout our lives and examines the new perspectives they can bring.

t read it, rather I listened to it which is my preferred method when it comes to Russell Brand He is wordy, which is to be expected But he is also insightful, self aware, endearingly flawed and full of fresh perspective I enjoyed it and will probably give it another listen.Agree with him or not, you can t help but respect this man s effort to reach the truth Russell, you re one of my mentors, thank you so much for this book.I love Russell Brand and his unique way of communicating his truths , very insightful, interesting and honest Enjoyed very much3.5 rounding up because I just like the guy Since drug addiction he is constantly working on himself and very introspective, I admire that in him.Brand discusses the importance of mentors both in our lives and being one to others He begins by suggesting that this book will suggest how to help and be help and understand the process of being a mentor and how to improve it This is where my expectations laid a path to ruin If you ve ever
