Bøger af Russell Brand

'This book is not just about extremists like me. This is a book about you.'

Russell Brand: "Faktum er, at det er ligegyldigt, om du gambler i en grad, så det skader dig, om du drikker for meget, om du er faret vild i dit liv, eller om du er bange for at sætte ord på, hvor ulykkelig du er, selv over for dig selv; hvor meget du frygter fremtiden, døden, andre mennesker, at være fattig, ikke at være god nok, sexet nok, tynd nok, rå nok, berømt nok, og hvis du bare kunne få ’X, Y eller Z, så ville alt være fint’. Hvis du har det sådan, er jeg ret sikker på, at du er en del af afhængighedsspektret. Ud fra denne definition: Du prøver at løse et indre problem ved hjælp af ydre midler på trods af de negative konsekvenser."1. Er du lidt fucked?2. Kunne du være ikke-fucked?3. Kan du helt alene klare at ’unfucke’ dig selv?4. Skriv alt det ned, som fucker med dig, eller som har fucket med dig, og lad være med at lyve eller udelade noget.5. Fortæl en, du stoler på, ærligt, hvor fucked op du er.6. Nå, det afslørede en masse fucked op mønstre. Vil du stoppe de mønstre? Seriøst?7. Er du villig til leve på en ny måde, som ikke kun handler om dig og dine tidligere fucked op ting? Det er du nødt til.8. Forbered dig på at undskylde til alle for alt, som er påvirket af, at du er så fucked op.9. Undskyld så. Medmindre det gør tingene værre.10. Pas på fucked op tænkning og adfærd, og vær ærlig, når det sker.11. Forbliv forbundet til dit nye perspektiv.12. Se mindre egoistisk på livet, vær venlig mod alle, hjælp folk, hvis du kan.Hvilke usunde vaner og bindinger holder sammen på dit liv? Er du ubevidst afhængig af mad? Usunde forhold? Et arbejde, der er utilfredsstillende for dig? Er du følelsesløs, tjekker hele tiden din telefon, på udkig efter hvad?

Russell Brand explores the idea of mentoring and shares what he's learned from the guidance of his own helpers, heroes and mentors.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the bookstore . . . Booky Wook 2!As incredible as it may seem, the honesty, the mayhem, the lascivious scandal of Russell Brand's magnum opus, My Booky Wook, are surpassed by Booky Wook 2! This time it's personal, as Brand unabashedly charts his rise from crack-house junkie to Hollywood star while indulging in sexual excesses that make Caligula seem like a prudish spinster?encountering thousands of women, often three or four at a time (for efficiency), on his quest to find true love. Here is the riveting story of what happens when insatiable desire meets limitless opportunity and a punk from the wrong side of the tracks is given the keys to the palace. Indeed, Brand's riot of self-indulgence would be rampaging still were it not for a well-aimed bottle tossed to the head, delivered from the hand of the exquisite Katy Perry, one of the world's biggest pop stars. Can true love conquer all? Is it a force more powerful than the raging libido of an insatiable professional madman? The answer lies within . . . Booky Wook 2!

Russell Brand explores the idea of mentoring and shares what he's learned from the guidance of his own helpers, heroes and mentors.Could happiness lie in helping others and being open to accepting help yourself? Mentors - the follow up to the New York Times 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 Brand 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.

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.

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 "e;celebrity memoir"e; 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.
