GETTING THERE A Book of Mentors

Artist Jeff Koons, financial wizard Warren Buffett, fitness coach Jillian Michaels, and 27 other leaders in their fields share their experiences and wisdom in this moving audio production. The three narrators chosen to read these first-person biographical sketches could not be more engaging or fun to hear. A surprising number of these achievers had rocky starts--they were underachievers or misfits in traditional schools, endured obstacles and financial hardships, and often suffered an unsettling mixture of naysayers and indifferent teachers. But they each had their own supportive mentors, relentless spirit, and palpable faith in their talent and vision. Their stories, propelled by these authentic performances, will speak powerfully to listeners who are just getting started on their own journey to greatness. T.W.
