I'm writing it all down as much to remind myself as for anyone else \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e- but now you're here, I'd love you to stick around . . . \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMark Watson is generally accepted to be alive. And yet he's died many times. Not just on stage - though he'll tell you about that - but in other ways, too. There's been the death of a childhood dream. The death of his panel-show career. And then there was the time he died inside and nearly lost it all . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEye-opening, revealing and painfully funny, this is a book about mortification, failure and all the times life doesn't work out as planned. But it also wisely questions whether the things we strive for - recognition, success, the approval of others - are really the things that matter. It's a book about death that reminds us how to live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Life is full of hurdles, but this hilarious book brilliantly demonstrates that we learn more by hitting them than clearing them' Richard Herring\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Mark Watson makes the base metal of failure into comedy gold' Adam Kay\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Watson, Mark","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":49702587007315,"sku":"XV81399607681","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/watson-mark-mortification-eight-deaths-and-life-after-them-xv81399607681-59777833632083.jpg?v=1730180646","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/mortification-eight-deaths-and-life-after-them","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
