A book about opening yourself (and sometimes your colon) up to new experiences.

When comedian Max Dickins was dumped by his girlfriend, he was faced not just with excruciating heartbreak but also with the cold realisation that he was bored, bored, bored. Desperate to shake things up, he took a friend’s advice and reluctantly bought a deal on Groupon.

He then bought another. And another… until what started as a gateway to some new experiences snowballed into a limitless Narnia of discounted possibilities.

Over the course of 18 months, Max did a new Groupon deal every week. He changed his name, became a Lord, wrestled alligators, moonlighted as a beekeeper, and even convinced Groupon to make him into a Groupon deal. (They sold 1,000.) Resuscitated by the oxygen of new experience, he emerged a better man.

My Groupon Adventure is an uproarious and uplifting chronicle showing that it’s possible to escape even the deepest of ruts if you just inject a bit of spontaneity into your life.
