About this deal

This insight was something I hadn’t expected but am glad that I got it, as it made for a truly wonderful reading experience. Now Rickles knows everyone in the room is staring at Marilyn, so he waits a beat and says, ‘I thought I told you to wait in the truck. Reality is an illusion and feelings aren’t facts but the thing that messes is that the most facts that we don't learn from these ideas most of what happens to us isn't something that is 10% of what happens to us is the problem but 90% is how we respond to the problem and that’s what really matters. It is as funny as expected, surprisingly thought provoking and peppered with short anecdotes that most may have never heard before.

Which is a joke he repeats a lot on this book, and to my own detriment, I have to admit, it was well done every time. Môže to byť super trebárs pre tínedžerov so zmyslom pre čierny humor, ale pre čitateľa od 17 rokov vyššie je to takpovediac cringe.From romantic misadventures to family fiascos and workplace woefulness, this book has turned me into a living punchline. I'm now navigating the dating scene with the finesse of a stand-up comedian, all thanks to the comedic wisdom within these pages.

Whether acting as a host or panellist, he often makes me laugh out loud, even if his humour tends to be more on the deliberately offensive, smutty side. I really loved the fact that this book wasn’t a standard autobiography; the mix between biography and self-help book was both strange and awesome, and to be honest, I wouldn’t expect anything other than strange and awesome from Jimmy Carr. Overall, if you pick this book up, you are in for some guaranteed laughs and perhaps a few life lessons along the way. Critics of mass culture have a trick of weighing the worst of the present with the best of the past. There isn’t anything particularly unique about the essence of Carr’s advice, but his frame of reference - stand up comedy - is something different.As I delved into the pages, my date mistook my uncontrollable laughter for a critique of their storytelling abilities. Immense - after hearing Jimmy on The Diary of a CEO, I realised that he was a very intelligent guy and had a lot of share.

This book brings together lots of strands of self improvement, growth and mindful productivity, all while encouraging people to enjoy the journey and do what fulfils them. Though I don’t care much for self help blather generally, I think Carr offers some sound advice for anyone looking to enhance or change their life. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It tells the story of Jimmy's life - the transformation from white-collar corporate drone to fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin - while also explaining how to turn your own life around and become the you you've always dreamt of being. Unlike other self-help books that I have read in the past, he doesn’t waffle, he just gives one piece of self-help advice after another with a bit of explanation why his advice might work.Everything in it will not be for everyone (certainly wasn't for me), but if you can find one or two things that inspire you, that might be good enough I reckon. More of a self help book than a funny biography and almost stopped reading it before I had really got into it. The great thing about the audiobook is that Jimmy Carr is telling you jokes along with every really important snippet of self-help advice. If you were in your mid 20s in the late 1990s, living with your family, no bills/mortgage and in a well paid job - would you say it was relatively easy or difficult to give up said job to pursue your dreams? His last tour, 'Best of Ultimate Gold Greatest Hits', sold over half a million tickets globally with the current show, 'Terribly Funny', looking set to exceed that figure by the end of 2022.

Alas, my family took my dramatic readings as a cry for help, leading to an impromptu intervention where I became the unintentional star of my own tragicomedy. Mid way between an autobiography and a self help book, it offered a lighthearted perspective of the difficult parts of life. The best part of the book is when Jimmy Carr gives personal anecdotes like in a traditional autobiography. I can’t recommend the audiobook enough, as I was laughing so often I lost track of time and “like a teenager with a laptop, I was surprised at how far I’d come”.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.
