Review by Library Journal Review

Reminiscent of Timothy Ferriss's Tribe of Mentors, this illuminating collection from entrepreneur, philanthropist, and radio presenter Reed and illustrator Kerr ushers in guidance from well-known people (e.g., Simon Cowell, Margaret Atwood, the Dalai Lama, etc.) who have risen to the heights of stardom but also endured unimaginable horrors or experiences more mundane. Morsels of advice from those featured include "acknowledge all people with respect," "listen rather than talk," and "work your bloody bollocks off." VERDICT Solid recommendations from those who have gone through the gauntlet and are flourishing. © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
