Publisher's Summary

Could happiness lie in helping others and being open to accepting help yourself?

Mentors - Russell Brand's follow-up to Sunday Times number one best seller 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, together.... One 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. Furthermore, 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 father." (Russell Brand)

Mentors: 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.

This audiobook includes an exclusive bonus-feature with the author, Russell Brand, who shares his tips on how to establish a successful mentor relationship.

Fantastic

Russell is first and foremost a fantastic story teller, the fact that he narrates his own book makes this even better.

Another brilliant Brand

Up front, I'll brazenly admit, I do love Russell Brand's work. Mentors was certainly no exception. When I read the title, it seemed a dull topic to be honest. However, listening to Russell share his experiences with mentors and mentoring others was definitely not dull - I'm fact, it was so far from dull, I've no idea why I initially thought it might be dull. This book made me laugh at points, brought a tear to my eye during one story (you'll know it when you hear / read it), but more than that it really got me thinking about the mentors in my own life. On the back of listening to this, I'm working out ways to better define the roles my mentors play, and I'll use the tips learned if and when I mentor others. As always, thanks for your wonderful, honest, and poignant words Mr Brand.
