Description

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 listeners 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 break, and enjoy this book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good book - audio quality could be better

It’s what you expect from a Steve-O book in terms of story and language - in all the best ways - but the audio throughout sounds like it was recorded with a low quality mic which doesn’t help his already raspy and strained voice.

An honest and self-reflective personal journey.

I didn't know Steve had written other books, this was my first of his. Wonderfully surprising to hear about his journey. I'm not sure what I expected, other than funny stories to keep me entertained as I drove. But it was so much more. Steve is able to see himself and his actions clearly, past and present. And he seems to have the faith in himself and humility to engage in real introspection and honesty. I guess I've found new respect for a man that I've seen do some very stupid things.
Recommended for any type of reader with an open mind and heart.

Very good

Steve-O killed it on this one. It was entertaining as well as informative, especially if you have had any struggle with addiction and life after in recovery.

Entertaining and Inspiring

Steve-O is a man of great charisma and charm, despite his well-publicized shortcomings. In fact, his previous notoriety for wild antics makes his wisdom all the more remarkable. He is so level-headed and down to Earth, and he is painfully honest about things that most people would refuse to talk about.

This book is a nice blend of wild stories of his sordid past and deep-dives into his personal philosophy, and I found it both entertaining and inspiring. The man has done enough living for 10 lifetimes and 20 years ago nobody in their right mind would have taken any sort of advice from such a human train wreck, but going through so much and surviving it is no small feat. I really loved his tidbits of wisdom, his reflections on his past mistakes and his hilarious takes on life in general, but I was also really inspired by his big heart and strong moral compass. I also really enjoyed his narration and the book felt a lot like a long, intimate conversation. This was definitely worth a credit and was the best thing I have listened to recently after a few duds.

Fascinating Life Lessons

Steve-O wonderfully describes the simple things we got in life, such as happiness. This book is so well written that I stopped many times, taking notes.
