Weaving themes of identity, love, and the complexities of fame, Welcome to Your Life explores the formative experiences and complex worldview of a creator, his creations, and his personal life.

Tears for Fears, and their unforgettable songs, have been part of the fabric of rock and roll for forty years. Welcome to Your Life is a surprising memoir from co-founder, guitarist, and songwriter of Tears for Fears, Roland Orzabal. Roland Orzabal, along with Curt Smith, formed Tears for Fears in Bath, England, in the wake of the punk explosion and at the dawn of New Wave. With their smash album Songs from the Big Chair, and songs like "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," "Head over Heels" they became mainstays of American radio and MTV, popstars beyond their wildest dreams. In Welcome to Your Life, Orzabal shares the story of his band, and also his life, a journey marked by massive fame, mental health struggles, a changing political and musical landscape, the creative and personal breakdown of Roland's relationship with Curt Smith, the devastating loss of his wife, Caroline, and the road back to fulfillment as a man, father, and musician. As any fan of TFF is aware, Roland's songwriting is rich in imagery, especially mythological and astrological.

A unique take on the memoir format, Roland Orzabal weaves together stories of musical and creative triumph with dark valleys of grief and drug addiction, stories he's never shared before.

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain. For the last decade, as she s spent countless hours in doctor s waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham s body has felt, as she puts it, like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight. It s not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you as a twenty-five-year-old are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist s office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she s meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again if only she could remember who that self was. As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame from selling the pilot of Girls to the present in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can t protect you from pain and begins to control your every move being famous doesn t stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience. In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can t change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.
