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 a childhood dream. The death of his panel-show career. And then there was the time he died inside and nearly lost it all . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEye-opening, revealing and painfully funny, this is a book about mortification, failure and all the times life doesn''t work out as planned. But it also wisely questions whether the things we strive for - recognition, success, the approval of others - are really the things that matter.
