Mark 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 . . .
Eye-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.
