Publisher's summary

Actor, producer, and New York Times best-selling author Rob Lowe offers up a collection of personal stories in an honest and celebratory memoir about men and women, art and commerce, fathers and sons, addiction and recovery, and sex and love.

Actor Rob Lowe is an entertaining raconteur whose best-selling first audiobook, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography, was hailed as "self-deprecatingly funny" (The New York Times) and "thoroughly entertaining" (Time) and earned the author the cover of Vanity Fair.

Love Life serves up another delicious selection of intimate stories and observations from Lowe's life, told with humor, warmth, and brutal honesty. After writing his acclaimed debut effort, Lowe felt he had more stories to share and many more friends to introduce. The result is a touching memoir about the business and craft of acting, the pitfalls of success, family, love, and much more.

Among the many adventures Lowe describes in Love Life are what it's like in the trenches as both the star and producer of a flop TV show; how a visit, as a 20-year-old, to Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion led to a surprise in the hot tub; how an actor prepares for a role, as well as the practical, boots-on-the-ground details no drama or film school would ever teach you. You'll delight at the hilarious account of the time a major movie star stole his girlfriend, and of coaching a kid's basketball team dominated by omnipresent helicopter parents. The story of coming to terms with his son's departure to college for the education his father never got will touch anyone with a family.

Building on Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Love Life is the literary equivalent of returning to a favorite restaurant to savor a completely different, delicious new dish. If you love life, you'll love this audiobook.

Surprisingly Deep

I expected this to be a fluffy memoir from a member of the brat pack of the 80s. I was pleasantly surprised to find that while there were some reminiscences from that era, there were a lot of truly deeper insights. I enjoyed hearing about his marriage and kids and he is a very engaging storyteller.

Rob Lowe is the BEST storyteller

Honest, raw, insightful, funny, meaningful....actor, star, husband, Dad and friend...these adjectives don't come close in describing the heart of this book. Rob not only tells the best stories but is a first class narrator...he's so easy to listen to. Caution/Warning: Make sure you are not eating or drinking anything while listening to the "Big Foot" story.....my wife and I made this mistake......our fast food burgers came perilously close to being spewed onto the dashboard while listening to this hilariously funny tale of camping in the Redwoods......we will remember that uncontrolled scene of laughter in our car forever. Thank you Rob Lowe....you are truly one of a kind.

Incredible Surprise!

Best surprise of my audible experience. Good stories, great advice, heartwarming honesty.

This book was supposed to be a time filler to mask the silence of a long drive. It changed how I look at many aspects of my life.

Unforgettable

Much more than a memoir. Insightful, poignant. I highly recommend this book as well as Rob Lowe's first book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends. Excellent!

A little light on content.

A little light on content but the message ended up being great. It is not a new concept but he made it feel important again.

Thoroughly enjoyed his story telling

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone for entertainment. Enjoyed is as much as the first and he is a terrific story teller. I was laughing out loud FOR REAL during the Bigfoot story. Very insightful and heartfelt. You are a terrific author, Mr. Lowe. (Even if you're name does end in a vowel) Haha
