Mortification - Mark Watson

''Mark Watson is a national treasure'' Richard OsmanWhatever I now know about life - or think I know - I found out through failure, disappointment, mortification. I''m writing it all down as much to remind myself as for anyone else - but now you''re here, I''d love you to stick around . . .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.''Mark Watson makes the base metal of failure into comedy gold'' Adam Kay
