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 . . .\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEye-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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Mark Watson makes the base metal of failure into comedy gold' Adam Kay\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46449869914270,"sku":"ADS-9781399607698","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781399607698.jpg?v=1769572403","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781399607698","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
