Alive and Well Enough Continues

De: Jeff Daniels

Narrado por: Jeff Daniels

“The actor’s audio-only memoir delivers songs, stories and scenes with humor and vulnerability.” (The New York Times)

Jeff Daniels returns with more skits, more songs, and more boundless audio storytelling in Season 2 of Alive and Well Enough. Again, Daniels begins in the middle of all the action and traipses back and forth, up and down, and side to side in the timeline of his life to figure out how he ended up where he did. But this time, he delves even deeper into his craft. He considers himself one of the few actors who didn’t want to direct, but instead to write, and write abundantly. The more he wrote, the more he understood his own artistry, the choice of how to interpret a script, and the differences between stage acting and film acting. Daniels remains a sincere student of his own life, on a quest to thoughtfully examine the experiences he’s had alongside his peers. As always, Daniels performs generously, his reverence for his craft always front and center stage.

Emotionally..a roller coaster

What’s not to like about this?? I am a 75 year old woman who for some reason..is still working.. I am a cook ..not a chef..just a cook..This week,,, because my kitchen is open to the bar..the farmers, truckers and bikers have had the spectacle of watching me laugh like a loon and cry like a baby.. not having a clue about what was going on..God bless headphones..this was truly wonderful ..just wish it was longer..if you want to go on a journey..listen to this one..you can’t do better..thank you Mr. Daniels .. thank you

Great talent - actor, writer, singer, song writer

Interesting reflections of his life choices and career interspersed with humorous stories and song. Anxious to hear the next chapter

So entertaining!

Jeff’s story telling intertwined with music is like having a friend over for an evening of fun. Loved every moment!

Depths I never would have imagined

I listened to this audio book, not because I had liked and admired this comic, because I needed something short as background noise to listen to while I did some mind numbing repetitive chore. But I caught myself listening more and more to what Jeff Daniels had to say about his life…about his life as an actor, writer, musician . The background story became intriguing and his reflections and thoughts intuitive. I even caught myself singing along with him. He is so much more than the“ Dumb and Dumber” character. I am going back and watch his old films because if I had seen them at all it was due to the presence of someone else in the film. This time I will be watching his performance. Read or listen to this book and understand better what it’s like to choose the life in the lights.

Pure Entertainment

Thoroughly enjoyed this release as well as the last. I love his natural storytelling and common-sense approach to life, You'll not regret this listen.

Like spending time with a friend.

What a magnificent storyteller Jeff Daniels is! This audiobook (and the first one) was like listening to a long time friend share stories from his life in a most unpretentious way, though he’s in a profession that often inspires pretentious behavior. That’s not what you get here. You get a warm, honest, humble, caring and very funny guy who knows how to spin great tales from a lifetime of memories both public and private. As a bonus, you get to hear some of his fantastic original songs. What an inspiration! I could have listened for days. Highly recommended!

Heartfelt storytelling

I loved hearing how Jeff’s career progressed and his willingness to take risks and try new things.

Fully Present

The title says it all. I haven’t come upon much of your work before but now I’m intrigued and curious. I’ll enjoy the ride and I thank you for committing to your craft! Libby Carr

Really enjoyed the stories and the candid descriptions of the experiences

Overall I like the lessons that were woven into each of the chapters. This was well written and a joy to listen to.

Jeff is a talented artist, playwright, actor, & Wonderful story teller!

Loved it I am looking forward to next season. We watched Jeff perform on zoom, where he told great stories & played some great tunes during covid, so nice to smile during a tough time.
