Summary:
"Russell Brand explores the idea of mentoring and shares what he's learned from the guidance of his own helpers, heroes and mentors"-- Amazon.com.
"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 sage, 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."--Back cover.
