22 Lessons For Life (okładka  miękka, wyd. 10.2021)

THE HILARIOUS NEW BOOK FROM ONE OF BRITAIN`S BEST-LOVED NATIONAL TREASURES! This isn`t a book of life lessons. It`s not going to tell you make your bed, stand-up straight, or any of that. There`s no blueprint to follow here. But, at 43 years of age, and with a bit more time on his hands than usual, Freddie Flintoff has had a moment to reflect and he`s noticed that, although there`s been little method in the madness, there has been the occasional common thread. The Book of Fred is filled with anecdotes, observations and the odd opinion all told with Fred`s trademark humour and no-nonsense style. Fred`s approach to life draws on the sublime (his series winning performance in the 2005 Ashes) and the ridiculous (singing Elvis Presley`s `Suspicious Minds` in front of a live audience), from highs (making the transition to top TV presenter) to occasional lows (accidentally upsetting the lovely Bruce Forsyth), from the profane (discussing Shane Warne`s barnet with Hollywood royalty) to the profound (why `having a go` leads to self-respect). Throughout, Fred shares his code for success, happiness and a life fully lived, gleaned from half a lifetime of hard yakka on the wicket, in the dressing room, behind the wheel, in the boxing ring, and even treading the boards of a stage musical. And gives his readers a laugh, some joy, and (the occasional) pause for thought along the way.
