I listened to this and thoroughly enjoyed it. His superfluous and poetic turns of phrase adding joy to the sharing of his experiences.
If you don't enjoy Russell Brand and his musings, simply don't listen!

Russell Brand is insightful and practical, sharing his experience of being mentored and mentoring others. This book resonated with me so much. I can't imagine living a fulfilling life without the guidance of mentors.
My experience of this book was enhanced by listening to Russell reading it. Although I couldn't relate to all of Russell's mentors and experiences I enjoyed reading about them, particularly learning about Amma, the Hugging Saint.
Russell's comments on how we trade distraction for connection very much resonated with me. This seeems to be an unfortunate trademark of modern life and our obsession with technology and our phones. Having listened to this book at Christmas I note how much I enjoyed spending quality time with my family; chatting, playing games and going for walks. He continually emphasises the importance of kindness and compassion, which is a useful reminder for all of us.
I really enjoyed Russell's comment's on fatherhood and his primal desire to protect his children which he shares with us in his usual witty way. That chapter and his comments about filming in Ireland were very enjoyable.

Entertaining and helpful, peppered with contemporary Britishisms which were mostly unknown to me
Little nuggets of gold in here mixed in with humour and overly long words. Just as you'd expect from Brand.
"Any good mentor will enhance your self-sufficiency"

Russell Brand's Mentors is a thank you to all his mentors along the way to recovery and success. Many people often write off Russell because of his appearance and the outrageous things he's said over the years. They are misguided in doing so. Russel offers a lot of wisdom and a clear path to healthy living.
Russel teaches his audience how to be a mentor as well. He suggests one doesn't need to be perfect to be a mentor. Everyone makes mistakes. But a good mentor can inspire a person down the right path.

An interesting concept that we've lost in the modern Western world. I enjoy thinking about the ponderings of Russell Brand's introspection!
