Product Information

SHORTLISTED FOR ABIA GENERAL NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 Learn how to be a better d*ckhead with Nat's deep and meaningful guide to life.

If you’re looking for a masterpiece of literature, well, I dunno why you picked this up to begin with, but this ain’t it. I know he pulls the piss out of self help books in this self proclaimed “self help” book, but some of the topics he hits on with metal health is worded so carefully and thoughtfully. I think a lot of people probably bought this book expecting it to be a cookbook - I certainly thought it was when I saw it being advertised, though he's now released an actual cookbook ( Death to Jar Sauce: Rad Recipes for Champions) - and so were probably surprised when they picked it up and found it really to be more of an autobiography with a half dozen or so recipes sprinkled throughout.

My only gripe personally is that I found myself beginning to lose interest in the sayings themselves and wanting him to just continue the trajectories of subjects he was talking about rather than bullet pointing them with new topics, but I think this is a testament to the entertainment value and grip of Nat's ranting, story-telling and hypotheticals. The words "Mighty Ape" and the Ape device are registered trademarks of Mighty Ape Limited in New Zealand and Australia. The rules are very insightful and are told as warts and all stories; rest assured, Nat does not hold back. A wonderful hug in book form for anyone who's ever experienced mental health challenges and a great way to ease the pressure on life while bringing a smile to your face. I didn't know much about him prior and assumed he had a background as a chef, but he grew up in church, dropped out of school, was fired from countless jobs for mucking around or being lazy, spent 6 years as a stoner on the dole, travelled a bit as a musician and broke into stand-up after developing a YouTube following for a segment where he walks around with a tiny microphone and makes fun of things.

With Nat's nine no-nonsense rules, you'll be on the road to being a better d*ckhead faster than you can say 'get in the bin' to jar sauce. So, to help champions keep levelling up their cooking skills and making ripper feeds from scratch at home, Nat has created this collection of 25 sh*t hot recipes that will get you out of a jam.Easy to read, great artistic layout, and featuring Nat’s special blend of wholesomeness and explicitness - pisstaking with encouragement. The book supports people in managing these challenges and provides channels to deal with these issues.

Nat is an outsider; not fitting the typical mould of society with long hair, tattoos and piercings matching his rock'n'roll persona.Now that we’ve cooked our way out of lockdown and are wondering what the hell to do next, our favorite ratbag is back – and he’s ready to teach us more about life in this thoroughly unhelpful (but maybe actually kinda helpful? I love that it’s written in his voice and it just comes across completely natural and unpretentious.

Now that we’ve cooked our way out of lockdown and are wondering what the hell to do next, our favourite ratbag is back – and he’s ready to teach us more about life in this thoroughly unhelpful (but maybe actually kinda helpful?

But the voice that rumbles through these pages is one that makes me laugh and also one that we all need to hear. Ya see, Nat's got a loud mouth and a taste for taking the piss out of stuff—it's how he lives, laughs and loves.
