I loved listening to this

One of the most uplifting and funny pieces of nonfiction I've listened to in quite a while. You can't walk away from listening to this book without being happier for it. Thank you. Ps. Forty-eight hours later, and I'm still smiling.

Loved it - funny, real and inspiring.

Loved loved loved it! I really liked listening to Michael Jr narrate his own book. I have been a lifetime reader but this is my first audio book. I’ve already started my second audio book. I listened to a chapter or two a day on vacation and it was a great way to get through a book. I also liked the fact you can speed up or slow down the reading. Michael Jr is funny and heartfelt and this book will make you laugh, make you think, and appreciate the journey he, as a comedian, has had in his life. We see successful people and forget sometimes there was a hard road to the top. 2 thumbs up!

So Good!

I loved this book! I love good clean comedy! You can definitely see how God was guiding Micheal Jr.'s steps starting in his childhood.

"I believe that anger preserves and intensifies pain or past hurts. The sooner we can let it go, the faster our hearts will heal and grow" #funnyhowlifeworks This is so true!

Michael’s book

I have always enjoyed you! I was excited to be able to tune in last week for your special and to get the book. I really prefer when the author reads their own book because you know when to hype up certain parts.
Thank you for your wisdom and true insights. Thank you for keeping your comedy act “clean.” I tend to listen more intentionally when an act is clean. Your a blessing and a true Christian.
This is one audiobook that I will be listening to over and over because of your “lessons learned!”

Uplifting

I laughed(out loud) I cried( like a baby ) in my car while listening. so if you saw me while I was driving I'm ok. I loved listening to his life and how everything comes together ❤️ thank you for writing this book Michael Jr! I'm incredibly sad from losing both my parents this year and this was just what I needed to hear to know there is hope and good days ahead.
