A funny memoir about Howie Mandel, his OCD, ADHD, and his life in comedy. Howie is very frank and honest about his mental illness and how it has affected his life both personally and professionally. He also explains how he got started in comedy and the twists and turns of his career since his "big break". Lastly, he also relates some practical jokes that he has played on his famiy and friends. Very funny stuff!

Very insightful & funny autobiography of Howie Mandel's personal & professional struggles. I enjoyed reading the book but expected more from him coping with his germaphobia & OCD while being successful & maintaining a career in entertainment instead of his professional rise & fall since childhood. I found the book to be a very good read for those enjoying autobiographies.

Great read! Always fascinating to get to know who someone really is when they work so much from public persona. Good stories about his life. Just wish there had been more content regarding his OCD...strategies and some therapies that helped. Not enough detail about that aspect for me. The title suggested there would be.
