THE BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT Lessons from Extraordinary Lives

If you’re in need of inspiration, words of wisdom, or just a shot of confidence, then this book will fit the bill. Author Katie Couric has assembled a Who’s Who of interview subjects, including Suze Orman, Bill Cosby, Chef Mario Batali, business leaders, and politicians, who opine on what made them successful. (For example, pay attention and show up on time.) Couric introduces each section, using her cheerful, friendly voice to connect with the listener. The other narrators do an excellent job giving voice to these high achievers. Each has a unique sound that ranges from reportorial to quirky, but all of them have excellent diction and pacing, and they allow their subject’s words to emerge front and center.
