About this listen

“The actor’s audio-only memoir delivers songs, stories and scenes with humor and vulnerability.” (The New York Times)

Jeff Daniels returns with more skits, more songs, and more boundless audio storytelling in Season 2 of Alive and Well Enough. Again, Daniels begins in the middle of all the action and traipses back and forth, up and down, and side to side in the timeline of his life to figure out how he ended up where he did. But this time, he delves even deeper into his craft. He considers himself one of the few actors who didn’t want to direct, but instead to write, and write abundantly. The more he wrote, the more he understood his own artistry, the choice of how to interpret a script, and the differences between stage acting and film acting. Daniels remains a sincere student of his own life, on a quest to thoughtfully examine the experiences he’s had alongside his peers. As always, Daniels performs generously, his reverence for his craft always front and center stage.

Best evening with Jeff!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was like spending an evening with him talking, laughing, and singing. Can’t think of a nicer way to spend an evening.

Depths I never would have imagined

I listened to this audio book, not because I had liked and admired this comic, because I needed something short as background noise to listen to while I did some mind numbing repetitive chore. But I caught myself listening more and more to what Jeff Daniels had to say about his life…about his life as an actor, writer, musician . The background story became intriguing and his reflections and thoughts intuitive. I even caught myself singing along with him. He is so much more than the“ Dumb and Dumber” character. I am going back and watch his old films because if I had seen them at all it was due to the presence of someone else in the film. This time I will be watching his performance. Read or listen to this book and understand better what it’s like to choose the life in the lights.
