Russell Brand Livres

Welcome to Russell Brand's Hamelin, where revolution is afoot . . .

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

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

With a little help from a monk, and a neuroscientist, Ruby Wax answers every question you've ever had about -- evolution, thoughts, emotions, the body, addictions, relationships, kids, the future and compassion. How to be Human is extremely funny, true and the only manual you'll need to help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iPhone

Russell Brand wants YOU to join the revolution. We all know the system isn't working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there's nothing we can do - "it's just the way things are". In this book, Russell Brand hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell, a vision for a fairer, sexier society that's fun and inclusive. You have been lied to, told there's no alternative, no choice and that you don't deserve any better. Brand destroys this illusory facade as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists and BBC stalwarts. This book makes revolution not only possible, but inevitable and fun.

My Booky Wook was one of the most revered and successful celebrity autobiographies of all time (not including the Bible or anything by Jordan). The honesty, mayhem and scandal made it as riveting and fanciful as anything found in fiction. In Booky Wook 2, this award-winning achievement is surpassed as Russell charts his rise from crack-house junky to Hollywood star, indulging in sexual excesses that make Caligula seem like a prudish spinster. On his quest to find true love, Russell encountered thousands of women, often three or four at a time for efficiency and his dizzying ambition led to chaos and controversy that could have landed him in prison and life the BBC in ruins. This is the story of what happens when insatiable desire meets limitless opportunity and when a chancer from the wrong side of the tracks is given the keys to the palace. This riot of self-indulgence would be rampaging still but for a tossed bottle to the head of one of the world's biggest pop stars. Can true love conquer all? It is a more powerful force than the raging libido of a professional madman? The answer lies inside this book.

Russell Brand learned early on to make a joke of fear and failure. From a troubled childhood in industrial Essex, England, to his descent into addictions to alcohol, drugs, and sex in the seamy underbelly of London, Brand has seen his share of both and miraculously lived to tell the tale. In My Booky Wook he leads readers on a rollicking journey through his disastrous school career, his infamous antics on MTV, and his multifarious sexual adventures. But this irreverent memoir is a story not simply of struggle but also of redemption, a testament to the difficulty of discovering what you want from life and the remarkable power of a bloody-minded determination to get it. My Booky Wook is a giddy trip through the brilliant mind of one of Britain's most valuable exports.

This collection of Russell Brand's columns for The Guardian not only follows the drama and tumult of the domestic and international football season but also a season in the life of one of our most celebrated comic talents.

In "Mentoren" untersucht Russell Brand, ob wahres Glück im Geben und Nehmen von Hilfe liegt. Er teilt, wie bedeutende Menschen sein Leben geprägt haben und ermutigt Leser, selbst Mentoren zu finden, um neue Perspektiven zu gewinnen und ihre Erfahrungen weiterzugeben.

Alkohol, Zigaretten, Essen, Smartphone, Job, Beziehung – wir leben in einer Welt voller Abhängigkeiten. Und wenn man nicht gerade eine der glücklichen Ausnahmen ist, weiß man meist gar nicht, dass man abhängig ist. Fast jeder von uns hat ungesunde Gewohnheiten oder bestimmte Dinge, ohne die man scheinbar nicht leben kann. Auch Russell Brand war abhängig. Abhängig von Drogen, Alkohol, Sex, Geld, Liebe und Ruhm. In diesem Buch verrät er, wie es ihm gelungen ist, sich von den Zwängen seines Lebens zu lösen. Nur 12 Schritte sind vonnöten – jeder kann sich von seinen Abhängigkeiten befreien, ganz neue Perspektiven kennenlernen und wahre Freiheit erlangen. Wer es wirklich will, kann es schaffen!
