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.

Some pretty funny stuff but not where you might expect it. Did fairly good job of describing the torture going on inside of us when we approach a door or meet with someone. Ah the inevitable handshake...please stop. Thanks Howie!!

My daughter has severe OCD and it's a difficult and disruptive disease that is almost impossible to understand. We who love her have often thought that she is a little "crazy." Howie 's book lets us know that, although she might actually BE a little crazy, she is in very good company!

I'm a huge Howie Mandel fan. I read this book and learned more stuff about him that I didn't know. I thought I knew everything, but apparently I don't
