À propos de ce contenu audio

'There's never been a more honest or raw memoir . . . and it may just save lives' Daily Mail

'Funny, fascinating, compelling . . . also a wonderful read for fans of Friends' The Times

'HI, MY NAME IS MATTHEW, although you may know me by my full name. My friends call me Matty.'

So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us . . . and so much more.

In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.

'An unflinching and often harrowing must-read for 90s pop culture fans' Guardian

'Written with Chandler's trademark sarcasm and self-deprecation' Telegraph

'A hopeful read . . . I started to think of [it] not as a celebrity memoir about addiction, but as an addiction memoir written by a man who understands his own history through the prism of showbiz' Independent©2022 Matthew Perry (P)2022 Macmillan Audio

    Amazing, deep, it broke my heart. It’s so moving how he shares his journey, so open and funny at the same time

    It broke my heart

    It made me cry sometimes, but it is not as dark as it looks at the beginning.

    For all the Friends fans

    It is very something special to hear Matthew Perry expressing and telling the story of his journey through addiction, his relationships, his demons and his struggles in life. He never falls into self pity, on the contrary, he manages to tell his story almost with a certain distance and from time to time, adds a joke here and there, showing all of this did not stain his spirit nor his wittiness.
    It really feels like knowing him for real. Hopefully, this book can also be a beacon of light in the life of those who're going through similar struggles.

    It is a writing that’s obviously pouring our directly from his heart. Went back to watching friends for the third time while listening to this. Poor Matty.,, thanks Matty.

    Breaks your heart, but beautiful

    It’s lovely, i love Mathew Perry and his way of telling his life story. This book is very interesting and teach us about addiction and depression which are not clear and couldn’t be really understood by a lot of people me included.

    Love it

    I think it was very honest of Matthew Perry to write about his problems. Such mental and physical sufferings concern everybody even if you’re not an addict, which is my case. I hope he will enjoy life now.

    Very powerful

    Un récit qui ne ménage personne et surtout pas l’auteur. Une vie proche de l’enfer et en quelque sorte une rédemptions. Puissant, important, c’était dur mais l’écoute en vaut vraiment la peine

    Sincère, sans filtre, vrai et dur

    I really liked the book. It is very deep and allows you to peak into the soul of a well-known person that you may have not imagined this way. Very little about Friends! I am a big fan of the show but I am happy this book is NOT about the show but about a person's struggles and life story. Awesome to have it read by Mathew Perry himself! That adds SO much to the perception of the book and the understanding of the emotions behind it. Extremely sad, but written in a fun (funny) manner... Whener the tone gets too harsh, here is a joke to sweeten it up! One would not expect anything different... :)

    Loved it! I will listen to it again!

    such a way! I wish you'll continue to help people as me, as you are! I love you as an actor in every movie I watched with you! see you on the other side Matty!

    thank you 💕
