This review is from: The Secret of Success is Not a Secret: Stories of Famous People Who Persevered (Paperback)
This is a great book about well known people and their stories of failure before the ultimate final success. It's potentially life changing! It's funny how you never hear about what these superstars had to endure before they finally reached thier great success. I totally recommend this book for anybody on your Christmas gift list who is in a creative field, who doesn't fit into the mainstream or who has recently experienced failure of any kind. I found myself looking forward to coming home and reading this book and I highly recommend it!
