Summary
Could happiness lie in helping others and being open to accepting help yourself?
Mentors – Russell Brand's follow up to Sunday Times number one bestseller, Recovery – describes the benefits of seeking and offering help.
‘I have mentors in every area of my life, as a comic, a dad, a recovering drug addict, a spiritual being and as a man who believes that we, as individuals and the great globe itself, are works in progress and that through a chain of mentorship we can improve individually and globally, together . . . One of the unexpected advantages my drug addiction granted is that the process of recovery that I practise includes a mentorship tradition.
I will encourage you to find mentors of your own and explain how you may better use the ones you already have. Furthermore, I will tell you about my experiences mentoring others and how invaluable that has been on my ongoing journey to self-acceptance and how it has helped me to transform from a bewildered and volatile vagabond to a (mostly) present and (usually) focussed husband and father.’ – Russell Brand
Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped describes the impact that a series of significant people have had on the author – from the wayward youths he tried to emulate growing up in Essex, through the first ex-junkie stage, to the people he turns to today to help him be a better father. It explores how we all – consciously and unconsciously – choose guides, mentors and heroes throughout our lives and examines the new perspectives they can bring.

thoughtful, honest and entertaining
I really loved this book. Russell is open and honest and thoughtful throughout. He never pontificates or condescends. I had quite a few moments of realisation and feel that it explained many ways to guide some of my thoughts and ways to further my spiritual path in an approachable and clear way. It was funny too!

Another great book by Brand
Well written, well read with some good insights into mentorship and recovery from addiction. A good add-on to his recovery book.

Captivating & profound
Russel has a truly captivating & therapeutic voice.
I find his vocabulary almost kaleidoscopic as it takes the mind’s eye on an epic journey.
As a self help book, it’s been invaluable in helping to change my mental state. Mentors is an honest & intelligent listen; interjected with a healthy dose of humour.

Poetic

Another excellent book from Russell
As to be expected this is an honest and refreshing book. Just like Recovery there is lots of really helpful advice made more understandable by Russell's own experiences . I believe he is right in his opinion on how valuable having a mentor is as well as using something like the 12 step programme to be honest about ourselves. I love that Russell took time to talk about all his mentor's and what he learns from being with them

Bit too short.. But really bloody good
Loved it from start to finish. Felt Russell could have spent a bit more time on the various relationships and mentors and who they are as people but over all, highly enjoyable
