3.0

Amusing but, as other reviewers warned, quite preachy. His life stories are good listening and since I'm not familiar with much of his work that isn't written by show writers, I was pleasantly surprised by his voice. As I agree with many of his opinions at face value, I wasn't offended by the preaching, but I also wasn't interested and tuned out much of it. You live your life how you want, I'll do the same. I feel like that's an opinion he'd respect, based on listening to an entire book of his, so it's ironic that he spends so much time repeating his handful of mandates.

An enjoyable-enough read if it's available on Libby, but don't come to this book looking for actual advice. In a nutshell, he tells you to go outside, create things, get away from screens, keep church separate from state, and be a nice person. It's the anecdotes that make it funny.
