These are life lessons from many, many eminent individuals....Colin Powell, Maya Angelou, Mario Andretti, Ruby Bridges, Rosalynn Carter, Bill Clinton, The Dalai Lama, Michael J. Fox, John Glenn,George Harrison,Nelson Mandella, Dolly Parton, and so many other individuals. It is so unique, in that their life lessons are posted in their own writing and letterhead, and then re-written on the flip side with it typed (and readable). It also reveals what they are famous for.
It is an incredible book which I think should be on everyone's shelf. You can't read it too many times.

A pithy little book filled with snippets of success advice from famous and renown contemporary personalities.

Famous people have crappy, crappy handwriting (yes, each one is handwritten). This is a nice concept but the very short notes are not as good as I had hoped.
