Overview
This two-book Russell Brand collection pairs Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped with Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, bringing together candid reflections on guidance, healing, and personal change. Mentors traces the people who shaped Brand from his Essex youth to the present, exploring how mentorship arrives in unexpected forms.

Together these brand new hardback and paperback titles offer adult readers a thoughtful, often funny, deeply human look at finding help, giving help, and rebuilding a life.

About the Books
Russell Brand has built a career on radical honesty, and this collection distills two of his most personal works into one set. Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped opens with Brand's Essex childhood, tracing the wayward youths he once emulated through to the mentors, sages, and peers who later reshaped his thinking. Rather than a straightforward memoir, the book blends storytelling with practical reflection, asking readers to consider who has guided them and how to seek better influences going forward. It frames mentorship as a two-way exchange, one that requires humility to receive help and generosity to offer it in turn, and it does so with the wit readers expect from Brand. Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, a New York Times bestseller, takes a more structured approach. Brand draws on his own long recovery from drug, alcohol, and behavioral addictions to lay out a twelve-step-inspired program adapted for a general audience, whether the reader battles substance abuse or the smaller compulsions of modern life. Written with characteristic wit alongside real vulnerability, it reframes recovery as an ongoing daily practice, covering honesty, accountability, and the slow work of changing entrenched habits. Read together, Mentors and Recovery move from who helps us to how we actually change, giving readers both emotional context and concrete tools for growth, kept approachable throughout by Brand's irreverent yet sincere voice.
