The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence. In an extraordinary story that only he could tell, Matthew Perry takes listeners onto the soundstage of the most successful sitcom of all time while opening up about his private struggles with addiction. Candid, self-aware, and told with his trademark humor, Perry vividly details his lifelong battle with the disease and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all.

I am deeply moved by the book and the profound portrayal of his life. It's heartbreaking to read about the immense pain he endured throughout most of his life, his struggles with addiction, and the overwhelming sense of loneliness that seemed to haunt him. The way he yearned for love, yet was held back by his fear of it, is both poignant and relatable.
As I reflect on the book, Friends, and how his life could have been, I can't help but wish that he had the opportunity to experience life as it was when he ended the book. The author's journey is a stark reminder of the fragility of human existence and the weight of the burdens we carry. Rest in peace, Matti. Your story has left a lasting impression on my heart, and your courage in sharing it is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.

Reviewed: 08-29-23
I'm truly enamored by Jamie's authenticity. Her genuine nature is like a breath of fresh air in a world often clouded by pretense. Alongside that, her kind disposition radiates warmth, reminding us of the power of compassion. And let's not forget the sheer delight of hearing her narrate her own book - it's as if her stories come alive in a whole new way. Jamie's authenticity, kindness, and engaging narration are a remarkable combination that leaves an indelible mark.
I can’t wait for Worthy to come out!

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

El mundo amarillo es un mundo fantástico que quiero compartir contigo. Es el mundo de los descubrimientos que hice durante los diez años que estuve enfermo de cáncer. Es curioso, pero la fuerza, la vitalidad y los hallazgos que haces cuando estás enfermo sirven también cuando estás bien, en el día a día.
