World-famous for his portrayal as Chandler Bing on the smash TV series "Friends," Matthew Perry is more than just a pretty face. His life story, spanning nations and feelings, is an amazing story of extraordinary ability, difficulty, setbacks, and triumph. This book does more than just scratch the surface; it takes readers on an adventure. Each chapter sheds light on a different period of Perry's life, from his early years-characterized by self-doubt and a quest for acceptance-to the heights of his international renown. A guy struggling with the shadows of addiction, the demands of fame, and the weight of his own inadequacies lay behind the comic talent that gave jokes and good memories to millions. Perry's difficulties became brutally apparent as the new century began, prompting many to worry that yet another celebrity had tragically lost his path. Matthew's story nevertheless, was not yet complete. He set out on a voyage of self-discovery and recovery with dogged persistence. By being honest about his struggles, Perry has become a strong voice for the cause of mental health and drug abuse prevention. In this book, we have a front-row ticket to see Perry go from a famous actor to an inspirational figure, after a successful career. This book helps us honor the life of a man who has seen his struggles and triumphs off-screen. While this is meant to give us many lessons and takeaways, it will also teach us all about facing adversity with fortitude and finding joy in rebirth.
