F*ck It, I'll Start Tomorrow: A True Story
C**C
I was going to review this book yesterday, but...
If you're familiar with Action Bronson, then you probably have a pretty good idea of what to expect from this book. This is a sort of chaotic autobiography, with Bronson taking the reader on a journey from his early days in Queens all the way up to current pandemic times. His blunt style of storytelling, brutal honestly, and somewhat carefree sense of humor are all on full display; and fans of his music or his TV shows will be able to picture him telling these vivid stories.Bronson starts by describing his upbringing in Electchester, a neighborhood in Queens. Bronson writes about what is was like for him growing up; the people in his neighborhood, and the social environment of being a kid in Queens in the 80's and 90s. He attributes much of his confidence and thick skin to the environment he grew up in, as he always had to be able to defend himself verbally and learn to be quick with a joke.Bronson then goes on to describe various memories and important events in his life. Bus rides, camps for overweight kids, his crazy teenage years; all played a part in molding his personality. His chapter about “The Steroid Years” was a little surprising, as he describes the phase of his life where powerlifting was his main focus. At one point he was leg pressing 1500 pounds, which is pretty impressive, and I never would've guessed he was that strong. Bronson admits that he trained so hard to lift heavy because it gave him confidence and made him feel like he could be intimidating; until he suffered from a hernia that made him have to change his habits.The Chapter titled “F it I'll Start Tomorrow” is mostly about Bronson's battle with his love of food and thinking about dieting or eating more healthy. This chapter might really resonate for many people, as in the modern Western world many of us have had these same battles with weight loss. Bronson discusses his ice cream addiction, and his internal mental battles that have plagued him throughout his life.There is a chapter about how Bronson's life changed after he broke his leg and had a long period of self-reflection. He became more focused on his music and making a life for himself, and has been trying to work toward getting things done ever since. This section of the book in particular does have some inspirational messages, as he advises everyone to find a way to personalize their own lives, instead of settling for what is presented to you.The last chapter of the book was written during pandemic times, and discusses how life has been different for Bronson while living his new quarantine lifestyle. This book documents an interesting evolution, as in the last chapter of the book Bronson mentions some of the different ways that he has changed since writing the first few chapters of the book.All in all I really enjoyed this book. I think fans of Bronson will not be disappointed at all, but people that are unfamiliar with him should know in advance that it is mostly a messy autobiography of his life; especially his early years, and isn't really intended to be deeply meaningful or convincing. He is just a man that struggles with the same things that many of us do, but approaches life with a pretty good sense of humor about it all.

The Real Action Bronson!
I've loved Action Bronson's music and tv shows for years now and immediately picked this book up on drop day. Such an insightful look into this man's life, outlook and power to change. It's written just how he speaks, with all of the euphemisms and funny jabs, but within it are some deep thought provoking lessons. Highly recommend this book!
