Deconstructed

Kill the Thing That's Killing You

By: Ben F'n Mollin

Narrated by: Ben Mollin

Ben F'n Mollin had it all, but his career as a celebrity hairdresser almost killed him. Feeling trapped and working himself to death as an overweight, functioning alcoholic, he thought about pulling the escape hatch. Instead, he chose to dismantle the cage.

In Deconstructed: Kill the Thing That's Killing You, Ben gets brutally honest about burning out, breaking down, and starting over. It's a raw, gritty, and surprisingly funny look at fame, creativity, depression, addiction, suicide, death, and reinvention.

As Ben says, if you want to walk away from it all, run. You'll get there faster.

Amazing story!

I love Ben. This audio book is a great way to hear the author in his voice. The celebrity chapter is incredible.

A wild and beautiful ride in a book!

This memoir had me laughing out loud one chapter, crying the next and was thought provoking throughout. Ben tells an unfiltered success story by taking the reader through all the gritty ups and downs of his life and how he came through on the other side as an ultra athlete. From life ending plans to becoming an ultra athlete, Ben truly kills what was killing him and lives to tell about it.

Hilarious and Grueling

Not all authors should be reading their audiobooks, but I’m so grateful that this particular author did. He has incredible comic timing, and his stories are both funny and poignant. Lots of life lessons and golden nuggets to be found here. Also, a word of warning — there’s a lot of adult language, so make sure you are listening with earbuds or alone if you have kids. It would make a great gift for the man in your life who is looking to level up.

Grab your life by the horns!

This was one of my absolute favorite audiobooks. Listening to Ben tell his story of life's trial and tribulations was amazing. It is very easy to relate to the author. Life is full of ups and downs and it is incredibly motivating to hear him overcome so much and take control of his life. Thank you for the encouragement!
