Inspired by his non-award-winning blog, Takes on Life Vol 1 is a series of comic essays full of wit and wisdom from a man, known for his wit but not his wisdom.
A book full of insightful and thoughtful musings on life, posing hard hitting questions, like when is an onion actually peeled? How many layers do you peel? Or when is it time to wash a towel?
Holland has all the answers to all the questions you never thought to ask.
Takes on Life is an important book. An unintentional self-help book, it might even have the power to change your life – says a man who concedes he is delusional.

“I have just finished this book and wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading it, especially as it was a Christmas present, and as we all know…. anything that is free is always better! My only disappointment is that Volume 2 has been lost and is not forthcoming….have you tried looking for it down the sofa crack?? Anyway, this is a great book. Very entertaining and easy to read, on or off the toilet!.”
