Stephen "Steve-O" Glover??social media icon, comedy-touring stalwart, and star of Jackass??delivers a hilarious and practical guide to recovery, relationships, career, and how to keep thriving long after you should be dead.

Steve-O is best known for his wildly dangerous, foolish, painful, embarrassing, and sometimes death-defying stunts. At age 48, however, he faces his greatest challenge yet: getting older. A Hard Kick in the Nuts: What I??ve Learned from a Lifetime of Terrible Decisions is a captivating exploration of life and how to live it by an individual who has already lived way more than a lifetime??s worth of extreme experiences. Steve-O grapples with the right balance between maturity and staying true to yourself, not repeating your ??greatest hits,? maintaining sobriety and a healthy regimen, avoiding selfishness, and finding the right partner for life.
 
Having built a gargantuan and loyal social media following while establishing a successful stand-up career??all after a couple of decades of dubious behavior??Steve-O is proof that anyone can find meaning and fulfillment in life, no matter what path they choose. Packed with self-deprecating wit and gruelingly earned wisdom, A Hard Kick in the Nuts will reverberate with readers everywhere who have lived a lot (sometimes too much) and are now wondering how to approach the years to come. Or maybe just need some good motivation to get out of bed tomorrow. One of many tips: Be your own harshest critic, then cut yourself a bre

A HARD KICK IN THE NUTS, by Stephen "Steve-O" Glover, is so much more than wild tales of Glover's truly unique and crazy life. Those stories are great and Glover has a quick wit and funny approach in his recounting of those events. Glover ruminates on the good, bad, and insane choices he has made over the years and considers why he made those choices, were they the correct choices, and what did he take away from those choices.
When you pick a book written by a guy known for crazy stunts and a ridiculous zest for life, you know you are going to get some great stories and this book doesn't disappoint. Glover also looks at smaller moments in his life and how they impacted him. It could be a single sentence in an interview or a chance meeting at an event, but Glover really digs deep into moments that changed him and made him grow as a person. He is also very quick to admit that while he is giving out advice based on his life, he still is a perpetual work in progress and not a individual to look up to or admire. He sees his faults and recognizes that often he gets in his own way when trying to grow as a person.
While I read A HARD KICK IN THE NUTS because I am a fan of Stephen "Steve-O" Glover and all of his antics, I came away from the book looking a life just a little bit different knowing that there is deep spirit behind his unstable exterior.
Thank you to Hachette Books, Stephen "Steve-O" Glover, and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )
