About this listen

The bestselling and ABIA Award shortlisted memoir from Osher Gunsberg, one of Australia's most loved celebrities, about life, love and living with mental illness - powerful, dark, funny and heartwrenching.

It's hard to remember a time when Osher Gunsberg (or Andrew G as he was then) wasn't on TV - he's just always been there, looking at ease in the spotlight, beaming a big smile, with a questionable haircut. He was there hanging out with The Offspring backstage at the Warped Tour on Channel V; announcing to a national audience of three million people that Guy Sebastian was our first Australian Idol; and later capturing the heart of the nation by hosting every season of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and now Bachelor in Paradise.

But while everything looks great from the outside, the real picture has not always been quite so rosy. Osher has always known he's different to most other people. Struggling with anxiety, panic attacks and weight issues since he was young, he tried for years to drink away the anxiety and depression. He ended up unemployed, divorced, suicidal and certifiable on the other side of the world, yet somehow he managed to put the broken pieces of his mind back together and make a life for himself again. He lives with a mental illness - and he's come to terms with it to live an authentic, rich and fulfilling life.

An honest, revealing, raw, funny and heartfelt memoir from one of Australia's most well-known and well-liked celebrities - now with two new, additional chapters.

Hearing Osher share his own story made it all the more better. It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s authentic. I learnt more about myself through hearing his excellent story. It’s not about the pain or the tragedy, it’s about overcoming and finding his life again. I’m so grateful to have read it.

I didn't know much about the man behind the rose ceremony but I'm so glad I clicked buy on this one. I couldn't stop listening and smashed through this book in a day. Normally I don't rate books about people in the fellowship but I can see the value of Osher telling his story to help others. He is so humble and relateable. It was so perfect.

My heart is full
