Chris Gethard is a rare creative who has a dedicated fanbase that knows him for completely different projects – whether it be his cult status as a comedian, or as host of the award-winning Beautiful/Anonymous podcast, Gethard is ostensibly living the dream: achieving success as an artist and experiencing the seemingly limitless freedom that comes with such a lifestyle.
In his latest Everand Original, Dad at Peace (exclusively available January 31, 2024 as an audiobook and ebook), Gethard details why he has largely decided to walk away from it all. Why would he leave a seemingly sweet spot in his career behind? If you’ve read the first two titles in his Originals trilogy, Dad on Pills and The Lonely Dad Conversations, you may already know the answer.
In Dad at Peace, Gethard reflects on the impact of career highs and lows and unexpected health scares. He also slows down to savor memories with his own parents — and even more importantly, special moments with his son — all of which lead him to take the leap into a completely new phase of life neither he nor those around him ever expected.
As he begins to find peace in — and acceptance for — what’s to come, Gethard embarks on a journey that’s not just about gratitude and appreciation for the past but one that leads to a world full of colorful animals, rock adventures, and a new dream for the future: spending more time at home with his feet firmly planted on the ground.
The ebook is approximately 76 pages and will take approximately 2 hours to read or listen to in full.
