From Booklist Review
Four-time Emmy winner Boggs hosts the New York talk show Midday Live with Bill Boggs for Metromedia and FOX, created and hosts Bill Boggs' Corner Table on the Food Network, and has been a game-show host, news anchor, and featured columnist for The Good Life magazine, the New York Times, and other publications. He has interviewed an impressive list of notable personalities during his 25-year career, including presidents, international leaders, athletes, writers, and movie stars. Setting out to define the factors that determine success in high-profile fields, he spoke to 44 individuals and got 44 versions of "what it takes" to reach the top. Interviewees such as Mario Cuomo, Diane Von Furstenberg, Renee Zellweger, Sir Richard Branson, Clive David, Jeff Zucker, Joe Torre, and others reveal sides of their personalities that are often unexpectedly different than their public facades. Includes numerous quotes and reflections on self-doubt, motivation, risk taking, and everyday practices. David Siegfried
