Essential reading for anyone who wants to feel happier. A self-help book with laughs and finally, one which readers will finish.This is a bold claim, but Holland has a good track record in making people laugh. He has an equal pedigree in making errors and since our most valuable life lessons herald from our mistakes, he is a man with much wisdom to share.31 easy-to-read essays on his life and yours, although his life is not so normal. At the very least, it is unusual. He has more children than is probably sensible and his family life creates somewhat unique circumstances. Meanwhile, trouble seems to find him. He has a knack for getting things wrong and an unerring ability to find awkwardness in almost any situation. In this volume, he fearlessly relives his childhood blighted by a disease that might have killed him (if he’d had it). A sales career derailed by an errant bowel movement and a comedy career blown off course by a leg of lamb. A vast array of mishaps and incidents providing fertile pickings for the second volume of this life changing series of books.In these febrile times, this is a book that everyone needs. A book shining a light on the wonder of the human spirit and a book with the power to heal.These essays will make you smile, possibly laugh, and frequently think. But most importantly, they will make you realise that your life could be worse. Much worse.And despite his tribulations, Holland continues to strive. Properly old now, he is rapidly balding, becoming ever shorter and is now troubled by his hips. But his vision continues to confound the aging process. His keen eye for the absurd is even more acute and allows him to write a book of such insight and verve.A book written for the smallest room in the house because it has the power to move.In case you have not worked it out already, Holland is highly delusional. A quintessential example of a glass half full type. Holland is aware of this and yet he still fervently believes in every word written above.
