Russell Brand. I'm giving him another chance.

A way long time ago I had written off Russell Brand as just another self-absorbed, dopehead celeb. I mean, who in their right mind ditches Katy Perry? But today on my commute I heard him on a podcast and it turns out he's done a book that is a modern take on the 12 steps and he's big into recovery. I will take it all with a grain of salt, but between this and seeing the preview of his latest standup act, I'm giving him another chance. Some of y'all might dig what he's saying about recovery.

Thing is, I bet most people like us won't give him a chance because all they know of him is the dooshy persona.

You ever heard Katy Perry speak?

She's awful. Probably would ask her to sign a waiver before banging. She's that type of feminist chick.

because they married a hot chick with a terrible personality. And really, most of the time they aren't really even that hot. God speed you poor bassturds.

He has been sober and cool for years, maybe 15. He's an interesting guy. You're just figuring it out. On the other hand, he hates Trump, so you may want to rethink your new found appreciation for him.

"RECOVER THE PERSON YOU WERE BORN TO BE"

Maybe that person wasn't that great to begin with, and being drunk or high is actually an improvement?

At the center of every change philosophy

is an assignment that most people won't complete out of fear. There is a little clip on his website of him talking about spirituality, and saying, in effect, you are following some set of guiding principles in your life even if you don't realize it, so why not choose to make sure they are healthy.
Dolly Parton says "Find out who you are and start being that person on purpose"
Tony Robbins says find out what you really, really want, what will really make you happy, and pursue that and everything else will happen when you start consciously choosing to be happy.
We live in a world where we find destructive outlets for short term pleasure at the expense, ultimately, of long term happiness and satisfaction. Even a cynic who believes in nothing is letting the principle guide his life.

the assignment here is cataloging your fears, shames and resentments and then letting go of them by addressing them consciously and directly.
