About this listen

A powerful, moving and joyous memoir from Tommy Jessop, award-winning actor and activist.

I'm a man on a mission to show that life with Down Syndrome can be exciting and is worth living so that other people understand and give us the chance to live life to the full and to be fulfilled.

Tommy Jessop is a multi-award winning actor, theatre performer, and campaigner. Tommy has been at the vanguard of bringing awareness of the potential of people living with Down syndrome to the media, and to government. A Life Worth Living will be Tommy's story - from his journey into acting and campaigning while showing his unstoppable determination, charisma, and love for life. Tommy's natural instinct to help others leaps out of the book, as does his wish to make people aware that those with learning disabilities just want to be treated like everybody else.

A Life Worth Living is a powerful, moving and joyous memoir, a must-listen.

I enjoyed this book even though I normally read science fiction as it was interesting hearing all Tommy’s stories with inserts from his mum. There was some really funny sections and some were quite sad and great to hear about all the people he has worked with! Tommy does read at a slightly slower pace than some of the narrators on audible but I just found this relaxing and it gave me more time to take in the stories. If you are looking for an inspirational and heart warming book that restores your faith in humanity then this is for you! I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend to everyone!

Heart warming and inspirational story
