About the Author

Russell Brand is a comedian, actor, bestselling author, activist and an addict.

He's been addicted to drugs, sex, fame, money and power. Even now as a father many years into recovery, he still writes about himself in the third person and that can't be healthy.

Russell still performs as a comic and is the host of podcasts Under the Skin, Above the Noise and Football is Nice. He has two cats, a dog, a wife, two children, ten chickens and 60,000 bees in spite of being vegan curious. He is certain that the material world is an illusion but still keeps licking the walls of the hologram.

Russell is the author of Recovery, Recovery: The Workbook, Mentors and more.
