Before & Laughter

Product Information

Hugh Grant is a friend and Monica Lewinsky is a friend of a friend and if you haven’t seen her TED Talk on being publicly shamed, may I recommend you stop reading, go and watch that and come back. I appreciate what Jimmy Carr was trying to do with this book but personally would have preferred the more traditional biography full of anecdotes and stories rather than how to improve your life. grāmatā bija daudz melnā humora, bet kopumā diezgan labs ieskats ne tikai autora paša dzīvē, bet tā, lai arī lasītājs/klausītājs top viedāks. Before making the move to streaming, Jimmy was one of the bestselling acts in the comedy DVD market, selling over 2 million copies.

One of the biggest-selling comedy acts in the world, Jimmy consistently does stand-up to sell-out crowds, performing his shows at venues in over 40 countries. If they’re not willing to be flexible about food (I’m talking to you, Mr Panda), if they’re not willing to fuck (you again, Panda Boy), fuck ’em. One of the biggest-selling comedy acts in the world, Jimmy consistently does stand-up to sell-out crowds, performing his shows at venues in over forty countries.The distress or anxiety about a situation that can cause us grief; it's probably only 10% of what happens to us is an actual problem, the other 90% is how we respond to the problem. There isn’t anything particularly unique about the essence of Carr’s advice, but his frame of reference - stand up comedy - is something different. I listened to the Audiobook version and really enjoyed it, but I might grab the paper version well because there are a bunch of quotes and sections that I would like to reread. And for readers in the West Country: yes, there are pictures (actually, sorry, there are no pictures, but there’s a book about a hungry caterpillar you’ll love).

The show opened up an entire collection of British comedy programs I promptly binged, and given the incestuous nature of the business, Carr had a role in many of them. Mid way between an autobiography and a self help book, it offered a lighthearted perspective of the difficult parts of life.

This book brings together lots of strands of self improvement, growth and mindful productivity, all while encouraging people to enjoy the journey and do what fulfils them.Unlike other self-help books that I have read in the past, he doesn’t waffle, he just gives one piece of self-help advice after another with a bit of explanation why his advice might work.

Carr’s challenging upbringing and his present Hollywood life contextualise his suggestions and it is clear that a great deal of love and work has gone into the text. At just 20, it's cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy, and significantly less boring than church.Please note that it isn’t exactly an autobiography; It really is a preachy self help book peppered with anecdotes, yet, nonetheless still an enjoyable journey. It's also very funny - I listened to the audiobook read by Jimmy and I suspect this made it even funnier.

During a critical presentation, the book's witty prose triggered an unexpected burst of laughter, causing my boss to question my commitment to professionalism. The funniest and most enjoyable "self-help" book ever - barely feels like one while you read, because quite often it has as many jokes per minute as a stand-up show, and despite talking about his own story, the narrative voice is so energising and encouraging. If laughter really was the best medicine, the NHS would be handing out this book in Nightingale Hospitals.When you're in your 20s all you ever do is think about what other people think about you, but when you're in your 40s you don't really care what they think about you and when you're in your 60s they don't you realise all along they weren't even thinking about you at all apparently attributed to Winston Churchill. It’s very rapid, the stories are short but funny (with the one exception of the one about his mum) and the lessons that he’s learnt along the way.
