Download The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives AudioBook Free
What was the tipping point for Malcolm Gladwell? What unscripted event made Meryl Streep who she actually is? How did Mario Batali prepare up his recipe for success? In this inspiration-packed reserve, Katie Couric reviews from leading lines of the worlds of politics, entertainment, sports, philanthropy, the arts, and business-distilling the ingenious, hard-won insights of leaders and visionaries, who reveal all how to take risks, follow our passions, cope with criticism, and, perhaps most significant, invest in something greater than ourselves. Among the many voices to be noticed here are financial master Suze Orman on the great things about doing what's right, not what's easy; director Steven Spielberg on listening somewhat than being paid attention to; quarterback Drew Brees how his (literal) big chance improved his life; and novelist Curtis Sittenfeld on the secrets of an great long-term marriage (she suggests marrying someone less neurotic than you); not to mention:
- Michael Bloomberg: "Eighty percent of success is turning up . . . early."
- Eric Stonestreet: "Understand that the old lady who's taking forever in line is someone's grandma."
- Joyce Carol Oates: "Read widely-what you want to read, and not what someone shows that you should read."
- Jimmy Kimmel: "When in doubt, order the hamburger.'"
- Apolo Ohno: "It isn't about the forty a few moments; it's about the four years, the time it required to make it happen."
- Madeleine K. Albright: "Never play hide-and-seek with the truth."
