Mortification (Eight Deaths and Life After Them) - Mark Watson

Mark Watson is generally accepted to be alive. And yet hes died many times. Not just on stage - though hell tell you about that - but in other ways, too. Theres 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 doesnt work out as planned. But its also a book that questions whether the things we strive for - recognition, success, the approval of others - are really the things that matter. Its a book about death that reminds us how to live.
