Being Henry: The Fonz...and Beyond by Henry Winkler

From Emmy-award winning actor, author, comedian, producer, and
director Henry Winkler, a deeply thoughtful memoir of the lifelong effects
of stardom and the struggle to become whole.
Henry Winkler, launched into prominence by his role as "The Fonz" in the
beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is.
Brilliant, funny, and widely-regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though
he would be the first to tell you that it's simply not the case, he's really just
grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the
disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe
dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path
forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.
Since the glorious era of Happy Days fame, Henry has endeared himself to a
new generation with roles in such adored shows as Arrested Development,
Parks and Recreation, and Barry, where he's revealed himself as an actor with
immense depth and pathos, a departure from the period of his life when he
was so distinctly typecast as The Fonz, he could hardly find work.
Filled with profound heart, charm, and self-deprecating humor, Being Henry is
a memoir about so much more than a life in Hollywood and the curse of
stardom. It is a meaningful testament to the power of sharing truth and
kindness and of finding fulfillment within yourself.
