Details Condition: New Format: Hardback ISBN: 9781509850884 Publisher: Bluebird Age Range: Adult Overview Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped is Russell Brand's introspective follow-up to his Sunday Times number one bestseller, Recovery. In this brand new hardback edition, Brand turns his attention to the people who have shaped him - from wayward youths in Essex to recovery sponsors and spiritual teachers - exploring how giving and receiving guidance can transform a life. It's an honest, funny, and deeply human look at connection, growth, and the mentors hiding in plain sight all around us. About the Book In Mentors, Russell Brand asks a deceptively simple question: could happiness lie in helping others, and in being open to accepting help ourselves? Across the book he traces the significant people who have influenced his own path - the older boys he tried to emulate growing up, the first ex-addict who showed him another way to live, and the friends, family, and mentors he now turns to as he tries to be a better husband and father. Brand argues that mentorship is never a one-way relationship; even the wisest guide is, in some sense, still being mentored themselves, and helping someone else can be as transformative as being helped. Written in Brand's distinctive voice - candid, self-deprecating, and searching - the book moves fluidly between memoir and reflection, weaving together stories from his comedy career, his recovery from addiction, and his ongoing spiritual practice. Rather than a rigid step-by-step programme, Mentors invites readers to notice the mentors already present in their lives - a parent, a colleague, a stranger with the right words at the right time - and consider how they might mentor someone else in turn. It's a thoughtful, occasionally provocative read for anyone interested in personal development, recovery, or how relationships shape who we become.
