Story
everything. An author sweats and toils to birth a tome with such colossal cultural impact, it has the power to retune the entire world to a whole new frequency. This is absolutely not one of those books. Not even close. And actually, that all sounds a bit much really, doesn't it? Rhys Nicholson is a multi-award winning comedian, writer and busy mum with an anxiety disorder, a complicated relationship with food and a book deal. In Dish, a debut whack at writing an entire book, Nicholson is reaching out to get some stuff straight in their head.

Some advice suits certain people more than others. Some advice is...redundant waffle. And Nat's What I Reckon refuses to let it slide! Ya see, Nat's got a loud mouth and a taste for taking the piss out of stuff—it's how he lives, laughs and loves. Now, his target's the tired old life advice he's had enough of: Man up. Good vibes only. No pain no gain. Carpe diem. What a punish! Buckle up for Nat's unrequested take on pushing back against expectations and rolling through life with some laughs and kindness like a real, righteous ratbag!

Story
Where do comedians come from? Why is it that one person is a funny bloke down the pub while another actually makes a living by standing up in front of an audience telling jokes? And where does all that material come from? Well, young Lee McKillop used to wonder that too. Growing up in his parents’ pub, small and wiry in a world of bigger and chunkier specimens, Lee quickly learned that cracking jokes was a way to get attention.

Story
We all have a soundtrack to our lives, songs that as soon as we hear them we're transported to a moment in time. As the youngest child, and only girl, in a family of creative types, Myf Warhurst grew up with the music in her. Whether she was watching Daryl Braithwaite on TV on a Sunday night or listening to the crackle of the needle across vinyl as Agnetha and Anni-Frid took her from rural Victoria to Eurovision, music has always shaped Myf's life. Later her love of music (and the realisation that a professional pianist gig wasn't part of the plan) would shape her career.

Publisher's Summary
Step one is identifying your limitations. It's not easy because you've been lying to yourself and others about what you're capable of for a long, long time. Most of us have begun to believe the lies ...
Lawrence Mooney is a reformed self-help addict. He's read all those books so you don't have to. He's searched for the ever-moving cheese, lived with the power of now and has given subtlety a red-hot go. Now he's taking aim at these self-appointed, self-aggrandising self-help gurus who have failed him in his quest for enlightenment and happiness.
Embracing Your Limitations shows you how it's only through stopping and quitting that you can succeed and be happy. We've been told to reach for the stars, to think big and to follow our dreams since we were children. What a crock! Most of you don't have the talent, intelligence or the wherewithal to come close to your dreams, so stop torturing yourself. The finish line is the same for everybody: death. So, why waste life rushing towards it? Instead, start Embracing Your Limitations, forgetting your dreams, and actually living your life.

Not so gentle nudge
I like that it made me recall family, partner and professional experiences and see them through a lens that was culturally familiar and encouraged accepting and embracing that experience in the future. Smiled a lot.

Self Help - Losers!
A very different take on self help, and the best part - narrated by moonman himself. A good read, sometimes self indulgent, but all in all, good fun. Some real gems in there.

Funny but a little polarising at times.
A mostly amusing take on motivation and getting through life. Some of it you take with a grain of salt and a lot of it is tongue in cheek but also there’s some fairly personal stories articulated. He is an intelligent and funny bloke.
However, his left leaning views pop up more and more throughout the narrative, which is annoying as hell given it has no bearing on the subject matter. I had to eventually tap out completely and didn’t finish it. But that will be different for everybody I suppose? I’ll leave that up to you to decide.
