What I enjoyed most about this book was how much I could relate to it as a creative person myself. This book is about the psychology and neurology behind being a stand up comedian. I am training to be a professional dancer so I too am a performer. I found that throughout this book, I could replace the word comedian with dancer and see much of myself in his words. I also enjoyed and appreciated the recognition of OCD, as a sufferer myself I found it reassuring to have that representation.
However, my main issue with this book was that within each chapter, the beginning and end were beautifully coherent accounts relating directly to the topics but the middle were filled with too many anecdotes. I would have enjoyed it more if it were shorter.
