Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino gives fans the inside scoop they’ve been begging for with his explosive tell-all.

In this whirlwind of action-packed, unbelievable stories, Mike paints a raw and uncensored picture of his rise to stardom, steep fall, and amazing renaissance, all told with unwavering honesty. Divulging everything from drug-fueled orgies to what really happened behind the scenes of reality television’s most loved and dysfunctional family, Mike’s book reveals all for the first time.

In his familiar, straightforward voice, he hilariously tells of intoxicated run-ins with celebrities like The Rock, Robert Downey Jr., Drake, Jay Leno, Leonardo DiCaprio, David Hasselhoff, Jason Statham, Lil Wayne, Kristin Cavallari, Whoopi Goldberg, and more. Alongside the comical moments, he describes more poignant events, such as the frantic searches for opiates to sate excruciating withdrawals, including one such time in Italy, which led to the infamous wall headbutt fight with Ronnie.

No punches are pulled in this unfiltered tale, relating Mike’s darkest thoughts after trying heroin, going to prison, and grieving his wife’s tragic miscarriages. However, like in all true redemption stories, Mike never gave up, and listeners are sure to be inspired by his determination to get clean and sober and become the man he is today. With pure candor and vulnerability, he delivers details on the mindset that got him through those dark times and onto the enlightened, sober path he walks today. Through personal anecdotes and invaluable life lessons, Mike teaches listeners how to overcome obstacles and embrace change. From conquering personal demons to finding redemption, he proves that it’s never too late to turn your life around and make the best of any situation. Get ready for a reality check like no other, and join Mike on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of living your best life.

it really changed my opinion of Mike, as someone who watched all the original Jersey shore, it confirmed some things I guessed at, and blew some others out of the water. it's a really great account of someone who really shouldn't have made it, but was able to change some of the most difficult things to overcome

great listen

Great story ! Crazy to think what he went through … and the dark times. I don’t know how I feel about his narration… annoying? Too choppy? But did enjoy his story … he’s a likeable guy!

Thought you knew the Situation, until you read his story

I wish I’d just bought this book and read it myself. While I appreciate when the author reads their own story, not in this case. Listening to him read this is a bit painful. It’s like it was the first time he’d ever seen this book and decided to read it out loud.

I’m sure it’s a great book/story but…
