About this listen

Tom Nash has spent his adult life mesmerising audiences around the world, either with his thought-provoking philosophies or hypnotic DJ sets. However, before his career had even begun, Tom was given the slimmest chance of survival after contracting a deadly disease at the age of nineteen, resulting in him losing both his arms and legs. When the unthinkable becomes your reality, where do you turn? Why do you turn? Tom not only went on to survive, but to thrive, taking on life with nothing more than a pair of prosthetic hooks and a dark sense of humour.

In a world where inspiration porn belies the true intrigue and hard-won lessons gained from carving out a future through adversity, Hook, Line & Sinner is Tom's visceral, revelatory memoir of what it's like to survive a life-threatening illness against all odds and come out the other side - driven by curiosity, steeped in debauchery and bold in the decision not to become a Paralympian.

There are many public speakers out in the world these days, each sharing their experiences and stories with a goal to inspire or motivate. Tom Nash stands out among them, with a ruthlessly pragmatic approach to his new circumstances and his stance on antifragility. This "semiography" is a perfect example of showing that you don't know what you can do until you're forced to.

Worth your time

Compelling, thought provoking and profound - whilst also being dark, witty and hilarious. Tom is the kind of guy I’d yearn to be friends with but never feel cool enough for, and his account of his life and experiences was gripping. Struggled to put it down and he painted a really vivid picture with his words. A must read!!

Fantastic!
