Russell Brand's Mentors is truly a life changing book. I particularly liked his views on relationships and what matters in life. It's all about perspective and dealing with healthy feelings versus unhealthy feelings. The book gives the advice of finding mentors; generally just consulting people who seem to have their act together in an aspect where one would like to see improvement for oneself or areas of one's life where one sees struggle.
It seems addiction recovery provided Brand with a framework beyond his struggles which he suggests serves as a blueprint, in my reading, for a fuller life. What I myself personally liked was his coverage of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, to which he assigns a more spiritual meaning apart from the exercise and sport. This also allows him to contemplate certain aspects of masculinity. Overall, an enjoyable read which shines the most for its humor, as one would expect from a book written by Russell Brand.
