I am a big fan of Chris Hardwick and have been for awhile and even more so with his show the Talking Dead. I really liked his nerdist way of self improvement I thought his advice for a character tome was great and XP points when you are on track, I thought this was a fun way to keep track of your successes. I thought his chapter on panic attacks was spot on and could tell he had truly gone through these to be able to explain them and how to overcome them was really good. His very honest take on his alcoholism and how he quit drinking were very inspirational even though these stories were told with humor. I was a little surprised in the chapters about working out and nutrition just because us nerds are not known for being very fit and now I want to see Chris with his shirt off and see just how well all this exercising is The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) But I think if you have bought this book I would guess you are already a fan of Chris. I rarely never read self-help but this is the best I have found because his humorous honesty is perfect and I could actually see myself using some of the tenants he sets out in this book. Starting my day with XP thanks Chris! If you can make it past the language and some of the jokes - this actually has a lot of great ideas. I need to get busy. I lived in a shitty apartment near UCLA … my place was always a mess, I had ruined my credit, and I had no real work prospects. I had The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) a thing I had always feared—the fat, drunk guy who used to be on television. Now he has multiple projects on the go, including a successful and extremely entertaining podcast, a new podcast network, and several TV gigs. Basically, he was able to harness his innate nature his nerdiness, so to speak and use it to his advantage. In general, he is advocating identifying your goals and developing a way to track your progress in a visible way. He also talks a lot about how to deal with the generally obsessive "nerdist" brain, something which I could relate to. In the final section, he talks a lot about his diet and fitness, even The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) a starter fitness plan that is modeled after what he has done with his trainer. The tone of the book is funny and descriptive, even during the more serious parts. However, there is one big ding against it. Hardwick spends a fair amount of time on the development of a "character tome" that is the heart of his goal-tracking technique. He sends readers to a web site for sample templates, but that website is not functional. I didn't know what to expect from this book; I just saw that it was written by the funny deadpan host of the dating show, "Shipmates". Turns out he is into many nerdy things like chess, computers and games. This is a self-help book especially written for people who fit this profile. I found it to be very insightful and helpful. Chris sincerely shares what he has learned over the past decade. It's worth reading! Listen to The Nerdist Way Audiobook by Chris Hardwick

I had the hugest crush on him in my 13 year old heart. Even with that horrible 90s hair and clothes that looked like he found them on the street. But then after Singled Out ended, he just fell completely off my radar until recently, when I've been hearing his name all over the place. Of course I, being the highly observant and detail oriented person I totally am, didn't realize it was the same Chris Hardwick. I just had a "His name sounds familiar" kinda of glimmer. So I had a bit of a Google-fest confirming the identity of said "Chris Hardwick" - if that's even his real name! But it is! I hope that becomes a thing. Embrace it, Chris! Since listening to this book, I feel like I have missed out on so much of this dude's career that I would totally have loved following. But he's done a TON of work in the intervening years between when Singled Out ended and now, and he seems to have really embraced who he is as a person, and what makes him happy. Which is awesome. I have to admit that I'm kinda proud of where he is in his life and career. He seems to have learned and grown, quit drinking, gotten in shape, and somehow managed to become a successful and happy person without becoming a douchebag The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) an egotistical asshole, or worse, a joke that nobody takes seriously because every time she opens her mouth something ignorant comes out of it. Not naming any names or anything. I lied: Jenny McCarthy. Please just stop talking. He had his own problems, but he has managed to figure out his life, and is now putting what he's learned out there for anyone else who might find his mistakes and fixes useful in their own lives. He is not a doctor, or a psychologist, or an exercise guru, or even an accountant, and makes that abundantly clear, but still has pretty good thoughts about stuff in those areas. I love the way that he defines what it is to be The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) nerd. He's put into words so many things that I have felt about myself but never really managed to quantify. This has nothing to do with pocket protectors, taped-together horn-rim glasses The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life), plaid shirts and suspenders, or never leaving home without your scientific calculator. This is a state of mind, and it may or may not be visible to the outside world. Though usually it is because us nerds totally love to wear our favorite shit on our T-shirts. The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life), his understanding and definition of what it is to be Nerd actually allows for this book to be a self-help guide that we will understand and actually not hate! There is no "think positive thoughts and positive stuff will happen to you" crap. This is all just practical, common sense, realistic advice that I'm thankful that someone wrote it down on a piece of paper, folded it up into a paper airplane, and then piloted it right into my brain. Because it makes perfect sense I really liked the methods he suggests for figuring out one's goals and then figuring out whether you're meeting them or not: XP points. And I love how he assures the reader, over and over and over, that it's OK to fail. That even failure can be a success, because you've tried, and that is more than doing nothing. I appreciated how he stressed that even doing a little bit toward your goal is good, and that one doesn't have to get a perfect score in life or at anything to be successful at it. I am not even being facetious here. I am glad that he did this, because it was like he spoke right the fuck to me. I do this - I talk myself out of doing things that I know are good for me. I procrastinate. I wait for "special start times" The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) get back on track, or start new projects. I do all of this shit, and it annoys me, but I still do it because I had not yet been slapped upside the head with this audiobook airplane of common fucking sense. I know I mixed my metaphors there. It's on the list. If I had one criticism about the book, it The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) be that some of the humor felt a little bit forced. I think this could have something to do with the reading, which was akin to an excited puppy jumping all over your shit. It was a bit manic and yell- y It was just some of the things that felt like Hardwick was just trying a bit too hard to make funny. I think most of it is trite garbage that sounds just good enough to start a trend and get people to shell out money for. This book is not of that kind. Yes, it is self-help which I actually didn't realize when I got it - I thought it was just a clever comedian humorous titlebut I never felt like it was condescending to me, the feckless mortal who hasn't yet figured shit out and has to hope some stranger will come and show them the way. This is just entertaining and intelligent, and spoke to me without talking down to me. Highly recommended! View all 14 comments.

I would have given this a three if he'd left out his handful of sexist jokes which popped up like periodic road blocks saying, "Why are you giving this book your time?! I believe he was sincere when he wrote that he wants to help people feel better with his book. Why the Hmm. Why then include some sexist jokes? They feel like the jokes male comedians still feel compelled to tell if only to bond with each other. Or as a way to bond with other men in general. The various dick and balls jokes would fall in this realm too. It would be easy to say I'm overreacting, but I bring it up because it made me feel that this book was aimed at male nerds rather than all nerds. Also the sexist jokes, and let me stress here that there were only aboutwere nonetheless off-putting and did not make me feel better. I leave that to Chris Hardwick to consider. Intentional or unintentional sexism aside, there's quite a bit of value to the book. It's broken into three sections: Mind, Body, and Time. In them, Hardwick relays stories from his journey and shares his nerd-style approaches to changing from drifting, drunk chubster to successful, sober fit guy. I wasn't familiar with his past, so I found a lot of these back stories really interesting. He talks about aimlessness, panic attacks, and drinking among other things. His book is peppered with tasks to help the reader put his suggestions into action. I really enjoyed his interview with Trainer Tom in the Body section. There are even workouts with diagrams.
