Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy

Advice from Rock's Ultimate Survivor

By: Ozzy Osbourne, Chris Ayres

Narrated by: Frank Skinner

Wondering if science could explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, Ozzy Osbourne became one of a handful of people in the world to have his entire DNA mapped in 2010. It was a highly complex, $65,000 process, but the results were conclusive: Ozzy is a genetic anomaly. The "Full Ozzy Genome" contained variants that scientists had never before encountered and the findings were presented at the prestigious TEDMED Conference in San Diego-making headlines around the world. The procedure was in part sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, which had already caused an international fururoe by appointing Ozzy Osbourne its star health advice columnist. The newpaper argued that Ozzy's mutliple near-death experiences, 40-year history of drug abuse, and extreme hypocondria qualified him more than any other for the job. The column was an overnight hit, being quickly picked up by Rolling Stone to give it a global audience of millions.

In Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy, Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more.

Was this a real thing?

I couldn’t believe that I was reading a real book! But it was freaking hilarious.

OMG!... I never knew!

So funny, and even more information about the legend that you can find out almost anywhere else ! It's a blast !

when the f*** did Ozzy Osbourne get a medical degree

Ozzy Osbourne became a doctor f*** no. but for someone that's been through as much as he has especially when it comes to chemical dependency and psychiatric Behavior he knows a thing or two. the book should not be taken seriously at all but it does contain some good advice. I can't believe some of the people that actually wrote in asking a rockstar for advice on certain matters. although if you live in United States that's not cheap and the other people that call themselves doctors really don't know s*** the ones on television and radio so why not ask Ozzy it's a fun book and again he gives some really good advice not something you'd expect from The Prince of Darkness rest in peace Ozzy love you

Stick with I am Ozzy

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It wasn't unlistenable or complete waste of time, just not a great use of time. The narrator sounded very much like Ozzy, and it wasn't an unpleasant narrative. The trouble was that it came across as Dear Abby style question after mind numbingly stupid question by witless Ozzy fans, and Ozzy responding with obviously predictable answers. The answers were given in Ozzy's own style, though definitely not the type of answers any sane person couldn't give. Really anybody could have written a book like this given the same list of mail in questions.

Any additional comments?

I am Ozzy was a far better read, in fact one of the best and funniest autobiographies I've read. It was written in the same style as this with much more wit, better stories, and more relevance to Ozzy's personal life including his time with Sabbath, his solo career, as well as everything leading up to and between.

Entertaining

Entertaining book with Ozzy’s advice, but couldn’t stand the voices for the questions. Almost stopped listening because of that.
