Speaking of Success: Collected Wisdom, Insights and Reflections

by Pamela Wallin

In Speaking of Success , acclaimed broadcaster and journalist Pamela Wallin shares the collected wisdom of many of the celebrated, successful and provocative people she has interviewed over the years. Inspired by thousands of hours of conversation, Pamela has collected the evidence that living life successfully -- and with purpose -- may be simpler than it seems. While success has many definitions, she has discovered, through these encounters, that it's not about finding the Holy Grail of fame and fortune, but rather about becoming a successful human being -- and finding new ways to measure your own achievements and contributions. This collection weaves together Pamela's own conclusions about life with those whose words and insights have informed and shaped her worldview. Throughout the book, in engaging essays and witty anecdotes, you will experience an illuminating tour of the human condition as seen through the eyes of one of Canada's most entertaining and thought-provoking journalists.
