But it wasn't always roses for Pete. Growing up, Pete was raised an evangelical Christian, but his religion taught him that being \"bad\"--smoking, drinking, having doubts or premarital sex--would get him sent to an eternity in hell. So, terrified of the God he loved, Pete devoted his life to being \"good,\" even marrying his first girlfriend at the age of twenty-two only to discover a few years later he was being cheated on. Thanks for nothing, God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePete's failed attempt at a picture-perfect life forced him to reexamine his beliefs, but neither atheism, nor Christianity, nor copious bottles of Yellow Tail led him to enlightenment. Pete longed for a model of faith that served him and his newfound uncertainties about the universe, so he embarked on a soul-seeking journey that continues to this day. Through encounters with mind-altering substances, honing his craft in front of thousands of his comedy fans, and spending time with savants like Ram Dass, Pete forged a new life--both spiritually and personally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautifully written and often completely hilarious--imagine Dass's \u003cem\u003eBe Here No\u003c\/em\u003ew if penned by one of the funniest people alive--\u003cem\u003eComedy Sex God \u003c\/em\u003ereveals a man at the top of his game and a seeker in search of the deeper meanings of life, love, and comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pete Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062803972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062803979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Pete Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994806190335,"sku":"9780062803979","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0ffccdd-0349-43ae-92a3-969fa3bd22f4.jpg?v=1683332288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comedy-sex-god-pete-holmes-9780062803979","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
