THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING A Surprisingly Funny Book About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About

Nashville actor, comedian, and activist Tyler Merritt performs this rollicking account of his treatment for cancer and the life lessons it provoked. Full of spontaneous asides and unscripted conversations with his producer, co-writer, and others, the soundscape is enormously entertaining. Merritt's vocal theatrics are outrageous and often funny but, for most listeners, will not upstage his humanity and wisdom. His message, a rich combination of insights about himself and the world around him, will be deeply satisfying for a wide range of listeners. The lessons he learned from confronting a life-threatening illness will remind listeners that time is precious and that we can enjoy life's richness best when we confront threats in our lives and are honest about the emotions that arise from such challenges.
