| Description: | Select Guide Rating Russell Brand explores the idea of mentoring and shares what he's learned from the guidance of his own helpers, heroes and mentors. <p><b>Could happiness lie in helping others and being open to accepting help yourself?<br><br><i>Mentors </i>– Russell Brand's follow up to <i>Sunday Times</i> number one bestseller, <i>Recovery</i> – describes the benefits of seeking and offering help.</b><br><br>‘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.<br><br>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<br><br><b><i>Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped </i>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 stage, 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.</b></p> |
