BOOK TOUR
MARK MANSON:
LIVE
If you're like Balance,
you're ever so slightly
obsessed with Mark
Manson, whose The
Subtle Art Of Not
Giving A F*ck was a
global best-seller. His
new book, Everything
Is F*cked, is also
going down a storm
with its mixture of
philosophy, personal
development and
snark (lots of snark),
offered up in an
oddly life-affirming
kind of way

syndrome by proxy,
which sees the

FILM
SPIDER-MAN: FAR
FROM HOME
As if being a
lovestruck teenager
wasn't enough for
Tom Holland's
endearingly awkward
Peter Parker, he's got
Nick Fury (Samuel L
Jackson) breathing
down his neck in this
wonderfully fun
blockbuster. Oh, and
the first end credit
scene is a beaut...

STREAMING
THE BOYS
Star Chace Crawford
is a guest on the
Balance podcast
(available everywhere
you get podcasts,
guys!) and talked
passionately about
this stunning new
show that presents a
group of superheroes
who aren't what they
seem. Produced by
Seth Rogen, it's set in
a world where
superheroes care
more about profit
margins and brand
strength than saving
lives, with a couple of
regular humans
discovering the good
guys aren't so
squeaky clean
