An engaging no-holds-barred memoir that reveals Howie Mandel’s ongoing struggle with OCD and ADHD—and how it has shaped his life
 
Howie Mandel is one of the most recognizable names in entertainment. But there are aspects of his personal and professional life he’s never talked about publicly—until now. Twelve years ago, Mandel first told the world about his “germophobia.” He’s recently started discussing his adult ADHD as well. Now, for the first time, he reveals the details of his struggle with these challenging disorders. He speaks candidly about the ways his condition has affected his personal life—as a son, husband, and father of three. Along the way, the versatile performer reveals “the deal” behind his remarkable rise through the show-business ranks, sharing never-before-told anecdotes about his career.
As heartfelt as it is hilarious, Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me is the story of one man’s effort to draw comic inspiration out of his darkest, most vulnerable places. ... Read more

Touching and Tickling
I don't know what to say. I absolutely could not put this book down. While the whole book is filled with humor and witty stories, it also contains stories from which we can all learn and grow.After reading this book, I have even more respect for Mr. Mandel than I did before.

Shallow and boring
I am not sure what he wanted to accomplish with this book but I must say he is not a writer. I was hoping to get some more insight on OCD and how he copes with it but the book is just a recollection of poor written events in his life that will bore even the most enthusiastic reader.

I've never received my book
I will never buy anything from that seller. I've never received my item and the seller never responded to my emails or returned my money.

L M A O and L O L!
I have been a fan of Howie Mandel for a long time.

This book was such a great insight into his life, how he got to where he is and a little bit about what makes him tick.

He really opens up and shares a lot of personal details which explain how life with this OCD can be challenging.How he has coped with it in his comedy.A lot of his type of humor, (practical joker), was shown and great pictures of the past and his family.

Throughout this whole book I was literally laughing out loud and a couple of times had to put it down because I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.

I read this book in a day and a half.It is one of those you don't want to put down.....

Comedy with a twist
I have really enjoyed this book. You not only learn more about Howie Mandel and where his humor comes from; it is also a great look into the mind of someone who suffers from OCD. ... Read more

Product Description
Deal or No Deal is the American version of the international game show of Dutch origin of the same name. The show was hosted by Howie Mandel, and premiered on December 19, 2005 on National Broadcasting Company (NBC). The hour-long show typically aired at least twice a week during its run, and included special longer or theme episodes. The show started its fourth season on August 25, 2008 after NBC's coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. A daily syndicated half-hour version of the show debuted on September 8, 2008. The game is primarily unchanged from the international format, and is based on a contestant selecting one briefcase of 26, each containing a cash value from $.01 to $1,000,000. Over the course of the game, the contestant eliminates the other cases in the game, periodically being presented with a "deal" from The Banker to take a cash amount to quit the game. Should the contestant refuse every deal, they win the value of the case selected at the start. Special variations of the game, including a "Million Dollar Mission" introduced in the third season, have also been used, as well as a tie-in with a viewer "Lucky Case Game". ... Read more
