Russell Brand – författare

In the sequel to Russell's best-selling biography 'My Booky Wook' we follow the now sober but still scandalous, sex-fuelled star on his electrifying rise to international fame. A roller coaster ride through tours, films, stand up and tabloids – this time, it's personal.Rarely has a sequel delivered on the promise of the original with such literary and comic gusto. In Booky Wook 2: This Time It's Personal, Russell Brand takes off where his international best-seller My Book Wook left off. Brand is sober and, after dedicating his life and compromising his sanity in the pursuit of fame, he has had his first taste of national notoriety. Does fame bring happiness and inner peace? Not exactly, but it does mean a lot of sex. It also ushers in an unforgettable and raucous ride through chat shows, tabloid scandals, and Hollywood, all the while detailing Brand's search for the contentment that fame can't quite grant. Booky Wook 2 is a "celebrity memoir" unlike any you've read before: more clever and inventive than ever, Russell Brand explores the consequences of massive stardom just as he demonstrates the power of language and wit to make sense of it all.

Could happiness lie in helping others and being open to accepting help yourself?Mentors – Russell Brand's follow up to Sunday Times number one bestseller, 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 BrandMentors: 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 stage, 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.

Massarbetslösheten lamslår våra länder, var sjunde levande människa svälter och i Europa görs utsatta invandrare till syndabockar. Under tiden åker 85 personer runt i en buss med halva världens tillgångar. Ska vi skratta åt allt, eller gråta? Russell Brand är bara en underhållare, en clown i roliga, röda kläder. Men som komiker undrar han varför vi inte märker när det skämtas på vår bekostnad. Simon Bank, Aftonbladet Fakta, humor och en påminnelse om att det är vi själva som har skapat en ojämlik värld och det vi själva har skapat kan vi också omskapa. Jeanette Wintersson, The Guardian Som originell komiker med blick för att visualisera den ekonomiska maktens absurda orättvisa är han bitvis briljant. Sydsvenskan Den oefterhärmliga komikern Russell Brand vill att du ansluter dig till revolutionen. Har du, precis som han, fått nog av hur världen ser ut och fungerar? Frågar du dig själv varför en procent av världens befolkning äger nästan hälften av dess tillgångar? Upprörs du av att bankernas bonusar nådde rekordnivåer under ett år med extrem lågkonjunktur? Blir du arg av det faktum att företag som omsätter miljarder knappt betalar någon skatt? Har du, ärligt talat, förtroende för de folkvalda? Insiktsfullt, respektlöst och med mycket humor tar Russell Brand upp frågorna som många vill ha svar på. I denna ögonöppnande och underhållande bok tar sig Russel Brand an ämnen som ekologi, ojämlikhet, upplopp, finansiell härdsmälta och den totala bristen på tilltro till politiker. Med lika delar humor och passion uppmanar han sina läsare att skaka av sig apatin och börja ifrågasätta det rådande systemet. Det här är hans stridsrop. Det här är Russell Brands revolution.

The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller from Russell Brand.'This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all encompassing and ubiquitous that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it.What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what?My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse. I am an addict, addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, money, love and fame.'The program in Recovery has given Russell Brand freedom from all addictions and it will do the same for you.This system offers nothing less than liberation from self-centredness, a new perspective, freedom from the illusion of suffering for anyone who is willing to take the necessary steps.
