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 readers 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.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Professional Idiot
"A disarmingly direct memoir of mistakes and course corrections studded with some useful advice."--Kirkus Reviews
"A great book to read before you get on the roller coaster to hell, if you plan on surviving to tell about it like Steve-O did."--Nikki Sixx, author of The Heroin Diaries
"Dude, this book is wildly engrossing. I finished it in almost three hours, and I literally hate books. Just when I thought I couldn't have seen more of Steve's private parts, he managed to bare even more stuff that most people would deny 'til their dying day. The results are riveting, hilarious, and shockingly educational."--Whitney Cummings
"I read this book all in one sitting. I am first of all blown away by Steve-O's continued sobriety and also his honesty and complete transparency in writing this wonderful book. Eternally proud of my brother."--Johnny Knoxville
"It's mind-blowing to me how utterly far gone Steve-O was, and how he looks back on it in this book with such intelligence, humor, and searing honesty. What a truly unbelievable life."--Johnny Knoxville
"The way Steve-O has turned his life around is just incredible. It's all in this book!"--Dana White, President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship
"This is the perfect book for people who hate reading."--Tommy Lee, author of Tommyland
"Thoughtful and revealing, but on-brand....The new book is filled with profound observations and frank revelations. If the first [book] goes to the bone, this one goes to the marrow."--CBS Saturday Morning
"While one might not expect to find wisdom in a hilarious tale about belly-flopping into a urine-filled kiddie pool, Glover is a veritable expert at learning 'some valuable shit from [a] lifetime of terrible decisions.' Dick jokes aside, this is full of heart and hard-won insight."
--Publishers Weekly
