Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality: A Field Guide to Curiosity, Creativity, and Tomfoolery

I'm a big fan of Rhett and Link, and their show, Good Mythical Morning. In fact, I've been a big fan dating even further back than that when I first saw their commercial for Red House Furniture on the internet so many years ago. I watched and enjoyed their short lived show, Rhett and Link: Commercial Kings when it aired on IFC back in 2010-2011 as well. These guys have a winning formula. Best friends since first grade, both with big entertaining personalities, they riff off each other and play to each others strengths and weaknesses in a way that only a lifetime of friendship can allow. And they are very funny. When I heard about the book coming out, I worried that it would be a largely unsubstantial offering of pictures and captions with no real cohesion or value in it. And it is. But it's also a surprisingly detailed look into the personal lives of these to "Internetainers,' with both of them writing individual segments to flesh out details of the bulk of the book written in a collective voice. They share entertaining stories of their childhoods and their friendship throughout the years, their formative years in high school and college, their marriages (the chapter on which has segments written by their wives and is in my opinion one of the more insightful and funny chapters of the book), and their overall philosophy of "Mythicality.' The book is filled with just an insane amount of pictures from all these aspects and time periods of their lives, and wonderful trivia and easter eggs for long-time fans of the performers and the show. And the book is really high quality too. Nothing was scrimped on here. A great, solid, well bound hard cover with beautiful glossy page stock filled with colorful images and well designed and laid out text. Oh yeah, and it smells great too (if you're into that kind of thing). If you're already a Mythical Beast (the term Rhett and Link use to refer to their fans), then this book is a no-brainer. You're going to love it. If you only have a passing interest in the duo, this book will likely make you into a fan. If you've never heard of these guy and have no idea what all the fuss is about, then read this book anyway.

I've been watching Good Mythical Morning on YouTube for a couple years now and I continue to be amazed at the odd and crazy ideas that these two, and their mythical crew, regularly come up with. I became hooked to the show they very moment that I stumbled upon one of their Will It? episodes. The show was full of crazy antics, scientific experiments, disgusting food, and a tons of fun. My husband and I started watching the show together daily and now my four year old even loves Rhett and Link. If you're a fan of Good Mythical Morning or just curious about ways to make your life a little more mythical, I definitely recommend the Book of Mythicality. There's tons of fun content, hilarious tales of their childhoods growing up in Buis Creek, North Carolina, hijinks and experiments they've done for YouTube and ways to improve your relationships, friendships, and just your life in general. It's a fun reminder to not take yourself too seriously and to just enjoy the process of life while you're living it. I can't wait to see what else Rhett and Link have in store for the Mythical Beasts. Rating: 5 Stars

Pure R&L, but so much more. An entertaining escape from day to day concerns, but filled with subtle "lessons", for lack of a better word, that you can't help but apply to making your own life a bit better, with reminders of what's good in life, and how to enjoy it. The book knows what it is, but through its honest and uplifting nature can't help but be more. I ended up getting the Audible version, as well, to have a chuckle and a little brightness on the go, whenever I need it. If you already enjoy R&L, this book is a must. If you're not familiar, but like fun, happy reads, R&L's Book of Mythicality is well worth a go, and a great way to get to know these two intelligent, thoughtful, hilarious, relatable guys, who are certaily very well worth getting to know.

I had bought and listened to the audiobook years ago and this was ordered by mistake recently (they thought they were buying me the cookbook) - I don't care that it was a mistake, I'm so happy to have a physical copy. The audiobook was great, but getting to see all the thought put into the physical book and images is really nice. Rhett and Link crushed it with this - but then again - they crush everything they do.

Mythicality is real and you need it in your life. How do I, a stranger on the internet, know you need this element in your life? Because everyone does! Creativity, curiosity, and tomfoolery are things everyone needs. It helps make life more interesting and fun! Who couldn't use a little more fun? This book makes me extremely happy. It's a true feel-good read that makes me laugh, tear up a little bit, and inspires me. The stories shared by Rhett and Link, friends since first grade, are genuine and fun. I highly recommend this not just for the Mythical Beast but also for anyone who needs a little fun, creative, inpsiring push. Make your life mythical by enjoying a warm beverage by the fire while you read this book. (Just don't spill that beverage on the book or your lap because ouch!)

I have been a GMM fan since extremely early on in the show. What can I say, these guys get it. The book is incredible! It is the perfect balance between the essence of adulthood and reminiscing over their childhood growing up together building on their lifelong friendship. Full of quirky humor and interesting concepts all throughout the book. If you are a TRUE MYTHICAL BEAST, then this book is a MUST OWN. (Especially if you are going to one of their tour shows : It will prepare you for it ) If you have never watched Rhett and Link in either Good Mythical Morning or their original context of (Rhett and Link) This book is a good way to get to you interested in checking out their creations. Birthday present, Christmas present. There is things in the book for ALL AGES to enjoy. Thank you Rhett and Link for making such an awesome book.

Lile most purchasers of this book, I am a fam of Rhett and Link. I've been watching Good Mythical Morning and all things Rhett and Link since about mid 2016. I've spent the past year + catching up and I am current to the series. I must say, I truly enjoy their work. They make me laugh, the ask silly questions, they make me think and they often have me gagging. I had high hopes for the book and I wasn't disappointed. The book is a combination of stories and recommendations for living mythically (you'll have to read the book to understand what that means). The stories are both reveealing of Rhett and Link, but also with a purpose to get you to a desired destination of mythicality. I had multiple instances where I was laughng out loud, which is not uncommon when watching GMM (but is not terribly common when reading a book). The book quality is high. The pictures are clear, and the pages are nice and thick. My only wish is that the book had come with some sort of knick knack (a patch, a sticker, a book mark, etc.). I hope the guys write another book of just fun recommendations for life.

Most Youtube personalities simply crank out books with no creativite interest simply to be paid by their fans. Not Rhett and Link though. The Book of Mythicality is a sturdy, legitimate hardcover book that is chock-full of pure creative energy. Every chapter feels so inspired and passionate. While reading, you can tell that they truly had a blast writing this book, which makes reading it also a blast. I was worried that this book would disappoint, but it absolutely did not. In fact, I'm now going to buy the audiobook as wel just so I can listen to this anywhere I go. If you are in any way, shape, or form a fan of any of the terrific content that R&L have provided over the years, this is a must buy. GMM has been a part of my daily routine since season 4 and have since watched pretty much everything they've ever made multiple times (including Buddy System season 1), so maybe I am a little biased... but I have am very sure that any mythical beast would love owning a copy of this book.

O livro é um scrapbook da amizade dos dois, mas muitas das histórias já foram contadas no programa. A parte gráfica é lindíssima, é um livro muito bem feito. É interessante ler o livro depois de ouvir o Ear Biscuits sobre os Anos Perdidos e ver como eles conseguiram evitar total o assunto

I have been watching this guys for years but during this quarantine I finally subscribed and have become part of my morning, to keep the despair away... This book is great, loved it from begging to end. And made me truly smile and laugh at some points. Even not for fans, the Mythical approach to life is certainly something I’m missing. I’m glad I read this, it was inspiring.

My copy came with a few creases on the hardback, but perhaps that was to do with the shipment from wherever this product was dispatched all the way to the United Kingdom. Either Way, Rhett and Link's Book of Mythicality is a charming book that any fan of Good Mythical Morning and Rhett and Link can relate to. It's filled with trivia about their lives, the things they get up to, and quirky, dymanic facts and opinions. It's difficult to summarise what's in this book adequately with a simple sentence, but again, fans of GMM will probably relate to it more than those who aren't familiar with Rhett and Link. I'd recommend it though for sure. It's something you can dip and dive into without reading it from cover to cover.

What else?

Very cool book, worth buying if you like Gmm!
