While I thought the anti-Christian speak bordered on bashing and we do not have much in common, I think I would thoroughly enjoy a drink or two with the so mentioned Mr. Offerman. He spins a witty tale and he gave me a glimpse of a world (acting/Hollywood) that I really want nothing to do with.
First of all - the narration? Superb! It was such a blast to listen to Nick's voice for so many hours. And his fundamentals? Very relatable. I appreciate his no-nonsense approach stressing the importance of family, hard work, self-reliance, community and outdoors. And oh, his thoughts about Christianity! Couldn't agree more! (Meaning: there are many great things about Christianity and as long as believers act according to them, don't preach to others and don't try to make them general laws, everything's just splendid. But separation of church and state, folks, separation of church and state!)
There were some parts I did not enjoy as much - especially the name dropping in chapters about theatre and film. Obviously he did not mention all those people for bragging purposes, but there were really many many names and I simply didn't know most of them.
All in all, this book was hilarious, uplifting and inspiring and I am happy I spent a few pleasant hours listening to it.

This book was super fun. Mr. Offerman's voice is so clear and so him. His story is engaging and full of really great advice on life, love, hard work, and acting. It made me laugh. He loves his wife. I recommend! Oh, and he obviously voices the audiobook, which is delightful—and he even recorded himself singing a song for it. Cute cute cute.

Overall a good book. Nick Offerman's narration is superb. 5 STARS for the audio quality and performance. But as a book, I think it was mis-marketed a bit because while it did have this man's fundamentals for delicious living, it also had a lot of actor-memoir to it. And while some acting-related stories did exemplify his take on [delicious] life, it was less of a guidebook for how others could integrate deliciousness into their own life, and more about how Offerman's fundamentals happened to work out really well for him in his life and career.
