Quick overview 'This is Mark Watson's brave look at failure. Lucky it's funny or it'd be really depressing' Danny Wallace
€17.23

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.
