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!

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.
