In Gad We Trust

I personally prefer when the writer does the audiobook narration for their biography. I can get a better sense of their tone instead of having to guess. 

I learned so much about Mr. Gad, how his early years informed his work, how smart he is, and how his intentions shaped his career. 

Word of caution, there is quite a bit of swearing in this biography, more than what I usually tolerate. As he's relating his reality through his individual lens, keep that in mind when those words crop up, especially when he quotes song lyrics. 

I especially appreciated his candor when discussing his mental health. 

Curious to see if there will be a follow up bio in another forty years.

For the first and possibly last time, Josh Gad dives into a wide array of personal topics: the lasting impact of his parents’ divorce; how he struggled with weight and self-image; his first big break; how everyone was sure his most successful ventures (both on the big screen and the stage) would fail; his take on fatherhood, and so much more. This trip down the rabbit hole of overly personal stories will distract listeners from climate change, the downward descent of democracy in Western civilization, and the existential threat that AI poses to Drake’s music—with never-before-seen photos and few-to-no spelling errors.

Whether you know him from Disney or Broadway, YouTube, the silver screen, or not at all, one fact remains: Josh’s work never fails to bring people together (as long as they’re alive.) His delightful debut, written in the tradition of Amy Poehler, Jim Gaffigan, and Mindy Kaling, reminds us to keep going, even when the chips and doubters are stacked against you.
