Writing about growing up as the son of Spock to writing about fathering his own children after a divorce, Nimoy weaves together the ups and downs of life as a son, a father, and a drug addict. With witty humor and honest insight, he touches on the challenges of overcoming his drug addiction, and the vicious cycle of marijuana use that drove him to seek help from the most unlikely of sources: a childhood friend he reconnects with when he drops off his 14 year old daughter at her friend's house.  An attorney who also becomes a producer, Adam takes the reader on a bumpy road of success and failure. But the career that took him years to build comes tumbling down in just a few months when drug withdrawl has him show up to work irritable and filled with rage. Only when he begins to embrace experiences like teaching a young boy to read while substitute teaching, is he able to realize that success can be more than 'live long and prosper.' Woven into the recovery memoir are humorous tales of the forty something's LA singles scene. Adam delivers a unique account of life before and after rock bottom, bringing the reader along with him at warp speed through a life that truly is incredibly wonderful and miserable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49527929340177,"sku":"GOR005114843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50307048243473,"sku":"CIN1416572570G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331225321745,"sku":"CIN1416572570VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52877717537041,"sku":"CIN1416572570A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1416572570.jpg?v=1750954908"},{"product_id":"my-incredibly-wonderful-miserable-life-book-adam-nimoy-9781439125465","title":"My Incredibly Wonderful, Miserable Life","description":"The funny, sad, and heartwarming memoir by Leonard Nimoy's son Adam Nimoy—who bounces back after suffering through severe drug addiction, multiple career changes, and a devastating divorce.   Augusten Burroughs meets Don Rickles meets Larry David in this riveting chronicle by the son of Spock that includes a thirty-year battle with drug addiction, three career changes, one divorce, a major mid-life crisis, and countless AA meetings. In this frankly humble and hilarious anti-memoir, Adam Nimoy shares the incredibly wonderful, miserable truth about life as a newly divorced father, a forty-something on the L.A. dating scene, a recovering user, and a former lawyer turned director turned substitute teacher...in search of his true self. And, most importantly, he shares the wonderful, miserable truth about growing up the son of a pop culture icon. He’s been rushed by crazed Star Trek fans at a carnival, propositioned by his father’s leading ladies, promised by his own teenage daughter that she never wants to see him again, and fired by famous television producers for his temper.    In a city and amidst an industry where appearing perfect is a way of life, Adam Nimoy doesn’t mince words, and My Incredibly Wonderful, Miserable Life is his cautionary, startlingly honest, and very funny tale.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50246119227665,"sku":"CIN1439125465G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51026221367569,"sku":"NIN9781439125465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52690641617169,"sku":"NLS9781439125465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1439125465.jpg?v=1751272437"},{"product_id":"most-human-book-adam-nimoy-9780915864737","title":"The Most Human","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Adam Nimoy has written about the challenges growing up with his famous father and about their estrangement later in life.
