And yet he's died many times. Not just on stage - though he'll tell you about that - but in other ways, too. There's been the death of a childhood dream. The death of his panel-show career. And then there was the time he died inside and nearly lost it all . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEye-opening, revealing and painfully funny, this is a book about mortification, failure and all the times life doesn't work out as planned. But it also wisely questions whether the things we strive for - recognition, success, the approval of others - are really the things that matter. It's a book about death that reminds us how to live. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Mark Watson makes the base metal of failure into comedy gold' Adam Kay\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399607693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399607698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phoenix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mark Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930777698559,"sku":"9781399607698","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_471f0fa3-babb-40c7-a5b5-8ab1aeecf894.jpg?v=1766344200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mortification-mark-watson-9781399607698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
