Hollywood has a predictable penchant for ruining the childhoods of young actors and heartlessly abandoning them when their usefulness has passed the expiration date. Many of these actors spiral down a tunnel of self-destructive bad habits from which they never recover, while others, like Josh Peck, are able to maneuver out of this nosedive and beat the entertainment industry at its own game by becoming successful actors as adults.

On this episode, Josh joins us to discuss his new memoir, Happy People Are Annoying, which details how he overcame an eating addiction to lose over 70 pounds and maintain his ideal weight, what he did to make the transition from wild child to grounded father, how he learned to redefine happiness in order to live life on his own terms, and much more. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
