Mark Watson is generally accepted to be alive. And yet he's died many times. Not just on stage

• •though he'll tell you about that
• •but in other ways, too. There's been the death of his innocence. The death of his panel-show career. And then there was the time he died inside . . . This is a warm, wise and hilarious book about mortification, failure and all the times life doesn't work out as planned. But it's also a book that questions whether the things we strive for
• •recognition, success, the approval of others
• •are really the things that matter. It's a book about death that reminds us how to live.
