Jim Chapman

YouTube superstar Jim Chapman takes readers on a hilarious and fascinating tour of all the best bits - from the mind-blowing to the ridiculous, and everything in between. No subject is off-limits and he'll lift the lid on his life and his relationships, sharing embarrassing stories as well as things he's learnt along the way. Following on from his wildly popular explanatory videos, Jim answers questions from his online audience on the issues that matter to them, and talks to experts on everything from anxiety disorders to the history of lipstick.

Read on Audible! This was such a fun book to read and also listen to the author reading it himself. It was funny plus interesting!

'It's Sapiens for teenagers.' The Times LIFE IS WEIRD. Nothing gives you a sense of perspective like finding out just how weird. I'm an extremely curious chap and with this book I wanted to share the content of my noggin, because I think these are the 147 things that have helped me through this thing we call life. Sometimes because it shows how lucky we are to be here at all, but often because I’m a moron and learned whatever lesson it taught me the hard way, and I’d like to save you the pain of making the same mistakes (I refer here to the waxing of my pubic hair). Ever wondered if first times are over-rated (hint: they are), whether you’ll ever find the one (hint: there are 7 billion of us) or pondered the sheer unlikelihood of the you who is you being in the world right now? If so, then YouTube superstar and fact-obsessed, over-sharer Jim Chapman is here to explain it all – whether it’s why your heart actually aches after a break-up, what’s happening when you get hangry, or why people are just so plain RUDE online. Along the way, we’ll find out how much fun he has when Tanya’s sleep-talking and why he looked like a gangly T-rex with wonky teeth when he was a teenager. As with his videos, no subject is off-limits, as Jim lifts the lid on his life and his relationships, sharing embarrassing stories and things he’s learnt along the way (trust us, the thing about kangaroos will really freak you out).
