About this listen
During his run into turning 50, Chris Evans is on a mission. To take stock of where he is and where he's at in order to figure out how best to get the most out of what he believes are the best years yet to come.
His typically positive and upbeat journey involves 100 days of contemplation, research, focus, frustration and decision making while secretly:
- Training for the London Marathon
- Bringing back his cult '90s TV show, TFI Friday
- And the small matter of suddenly being asked to take over Top Gear
Health, love, marriage, sex, death and even religion all come under his witty microscope as he poses the conundrum - midlife: crisis versus opportunity? There can be only one winner.
Read by Vassos Alexander.

Great not quite as good as first two
Great to see where Chris is and has been through from his second book.
I hope he does a fourth one :D

Loved the book and if it had been read by Chris it would have made my top 10 audio books. Vassos is ok but does not have Chris's zing

a strangely motivational ebook
I wasn't expecting to be motivated to take chances, believe in myself, set goals, think about relationships and have a positive outlook from a book by Chris Evans. I do already like the guy from his radio programme, but now have different perception of him too. And read by Vasos from the radio programme actually works and a familiar voice.

Please please please change the narrator.
Is this the most irritating narrator ever? Maybe not but he must be up there competing for the title. Ruined the experience so much I find it hard to rate the actually quality of the book. He sounds so unlike what you know Chris Evans to sound like or how he expresses himself, it is hard to believe he is the author of the book.
If you are thinking of reading this book, do just that, read it. Don't download the audiobook.

Much, much better than I expected..
Having previously read... Yes... Actually with a real book, I was expecting another excerpt of Chris's life Story, which to be honest, I was looking forward to, and his journey into family life and marriage (again).. However, what we got was a look to our own futures and Chris's attempt to delve into what we should expect, and also how to avoid some pitfalls...
What interested and impressed me the most was Chris's " Marathon Diary"... As someone who, at the age of 51 is undertaking my first London Marathon in April 2017, I was interested, excited, frightened, motivated and humbled to read his journey from a shuffle round a lake to completing the biggest marathon of them all...
Aĺl in all, a great read..

Surprising find!
I really like Chris Evans based in Radio 2 show but was not convinced that his autobiography would grip me.
However, it is a fascinating listen and actually makes you think about your own life too!
However it is so addictive I failed to get proper sleep several nights in a row...
Should come with sleep deprivation warning :-)
