Couric asks accomplished people, some famous, and some not, talk about the best advice they ever recieved. The results are mixed. Some answers seem like trite cliques, but others actually tell a story, explaining the situation around the advice and why it mattered. The best stories are not just about the advice, but how they got it a just the right moment it their lives, stressing that timing is as important as the advice itself. On a personal note, she talks about her shaky term at the CBS Evening News and from it one gets the sense she was more than ready to leave after several years of lowering ratings and constant criticism. Perhaps her life is the best advice of all, when it's time to go, LEAVE!!!
