LABC Presents: Paul Scheer's Joyful Recollections of Trauma

ABOUT THE BOOK: Paul Scheer has entertained countless fans and podcast listeners with stories about his life's odd, wild, and absurd details. Yet these tales have pointed to deeper, difficult truths that the actor and comedian has kept to himself. Paul is finally ready to share those truths for the first time. Nothing is off limits, from reckoning with his stepfather’s alcoholism to finding self-acceptance to becoming a good father himself. Joyful Recollections of Trauma offers a unique perspective on universal themes: growing up, working through a challenging childhood, staying true to oneself, and finding success, fulfillment, and happiness in strange and difficult circumstances. Paul shares both hard-fought lessons and laughter that can be found in the darkest parts of life and reminds us that what matters is not what you’ve been through but who you are becoming.
