This is Not a Self-Help Book (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

Much of Mark Mehigan's twenties read like a how-to manual: How to get very drunk without raising people's suspicions you might be an alcoholic. Outwardly successful, inside he was drowning. Nearing 30, he was hurtling towards a nervous breakdown and using payday loans to fund a burgeoning cocaine habit. His only choice was to finally relinquish control and ask for help. In doing so he discovered a life beyond his wildest dreams. This new way of life embraced letting stuff go. Giving things up. He discovered the power of rigorous honesty, how to live without relying on destructive behavioural patterns and the joy of letting people in instead of keeping them out. Mark's story is one of recovery and sobriety. It brilliantly articulates the societal pressures that can leave people feeling isolated and lost, and offers a path to finding your own sense of 'good enough'. Perhaps Mark's story can be the spark that ignites that journey for you, or at the very least a guide on how not to mess up your life. Either way, it's definitely not a self-help book.

Autorenporträt

Mark Mehigan is a comedian, writer and podcaster currently based in Dublin, Ireland. Whether selling out live shows or entertaining his many followers on Instagram with his weekly roasts, he is usually found having a laugh at the state of the nation today. After spending his early twenties working in the music industry as a songwriter and moving around a lot, Mark eventually 'settled down' and spent the remainder of his twenties going back and forth between London and Dublin, working in the BBC and hosting his popular podcast, The Sunday Roast. In 2020, Mark returned to Ireland full time where he bough an apartment in Dún Laoghaire before making the galactic leap to Castleknock where he lives now with his fiancée Doireann Garrihy.
