"An honest look at life's second half from Everybody Loves Raymond TV sitcom star and comic Brad Garrett"-- - Baker & Taylor
In a collection of personal essays, the sitcom star and standup comic takes a humorous look at middle age and touches on such topics as genetics, genitals, weight, and women. - Simon and Schuster
A refreshingly candid and wickedly funny look at lifeâs second half from Everybody Loves Raymond TV sitcom star and three-time Emmy Awardâwinning comic Brad Garrett.
In this no-holds-barred book of comedic and personal essays, Brad Garrett divulges his hilariousâand irreverently honestâexperiences with the many challenges and ultimately joys of middle age, as he advises us on how to best navigate the dreaded âsecond halfâ of life.
Ranging in topics from genetics to genitals, sex to stereotypes, and alimony to addiction, Brad leaves no stone unturned in this raw, laugh-out-loud look at getting older. With pieces such as âNo Scales in Heaven,â in which Brad points out the essential pointlessness of overthinking diet and exercise, and âCelebrating Your E.D. (erectile dysfunction) During Your Mid-Life Crisis,â the star comedian encourages you to forget the overwhelming concerns that accompany middle age and to welcome the laughsâeven if you throw your back out doing it.
Penned in the blunt, conversational, no-nonsense style that has cemented Bradâs status as an icon in the comedy industry, this autobiographical book will help you accept that, no matter what, we all get old. So you might as well embrace it.
