The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller Gary Barlow is one of the
most successful British musicians and songwriters of all time, but
fifteen years ago, as he himself admits, he hit rock bottom - he
was out of shape, out of work and depressed. Faced with an
underperforming solo career, tireless media taunts and the other
cruel twists of fate, Gary turned to food. For nine years, he
struggled with his weight and went on every diet imaginable before
eventually asking a doctor what the 'cure' for obesity was. That
was when he realised that he would have to change his life
dramatically. So how did he go from an obese, out-of-work pop star
to becoming a hugely successful superstar of music and TV, as well
an accomplished musical songwriter and producer who is full of
vitality, fitter, happier and more successful than ever before? In
this extraordinarily honest memoir, Gary tells of his journey back
to professional success, as well as mental and physical health. A
Better Me is a remarkably frank account of Gary's life as he
battled with his demons, endured personal tragedy, and staged one
of the most thrilling professional comebacks in decades. In his
warm, witty and authentic voice, Gary recounts his story with
compelling insight, captivating sincerity and a human side that
people rarely see. From returning with a critically and
commercially successful Take That and reigniting his own legendary
songwriting career, going beyond recorded music to forge success on
TV with The X Factor and Let It Shine, to overcoming his weight
problems and crippling obsession with food, this is the story of
how Gary found balance in both his personal and professional life.
Here is one of the UK's most beloved pop stars, more open, honest
and raw than ever before.

**The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller** **Audiobook shortlisted
for the Specsavers National Book Awards 2018** Gary Barlow is one
of the most successful British musicians and songwriters of all
time, but fifteen years ago, as he himself admits, he hit rock
bottom - he was out of shape, out of work and depressed. His mental
and physical health were at an all-time low, and he struggled to
see a way out. Faced with an underperforming solo career, tireless
media taunts and other cruel twists of fate, Gary turned to food.
For nine years, he struggled with his weight and went on every diet
imaginable. Fasting, extreme dieting, and binge eating saw him on a
seemingly unstoppable downward spiral for which he eventually
sought professional help, asking a doctor what the 'cure' for
obesity was. That was the moment he realised that he would have to
dramatically change his life and relationship with food. So how did
he go from an obese, out-of-work pop star to one of the UK's
favourite superstars of music and TV, as well an accomplished
musical songwriter and producer who is full of vitality, fitter,
happier and more successful than ever before?" In this
extraordinarily honest memoir, Gary tells of his journey back to
mental and physical health, as well as musical success. A Better Me
is a remarkably frank account of Gary's life as he battled with his
demons, endured devastating personal tragedy, and recovered his
health from the extremities of disordered eating and obesity. In
his warm, witty and authentic voice, Gary recounts his story with
compelling insight, captivating sincerity and a human side that
people rarely see. From overcoming his weight problems and
crippling obsession with food, to returning with a critically and
commercially successful Take That and reigniting his own legendary
song-writing career, going beyond recorded music to forge success
on TV with The X Factor and Let It Shine, this is the story of how
Gary found balance in both his personal and professional life. Here
is one of the UK's most beloved pop stars, more open, honest and
raw than ever before.
