Publisher's summary

Richard Reed built Innocent Drinks from a smoothie stall on a street corner to one of the biggest brands in Britain. He credits his success to four brilliant pieces of advice, each given to him just when he needed them most.

Ever since, it has been Richard's habit, whenever he meets somebody he admires, to ask them for their best piece of advice. If they could tell him just one thing, what would it be?

Richard has collected pearls of wisdom from some of the most remarkable, inspiring and game-changing people in the world - in business, tech, philanthropy, politics, sport, art, spirituality, medicine, film, and design.

From Hollywood greats like Judi Dench and Richard Curtis, to entrepreneurial legends like Richard Branson and Simon Cowell; from sports stars and TV personalities like Andy Murray and James Cordon to political activists and born survivors like Mandela's Comrades and Katie Piper, Richard has picked some of the world's most interesting brains to give you a lesson in how to live, how to love, how to create and how to succeed.

Not a varied field of people

I thought overall the "words of wisdom" were pretty good, but the author's gushing over his encounters put this book a little over the top for my listening. I am open to a generally liberal leaning book, but this author's solely left leaning encounters were too much. Furthermore, unless you are really in marathon mental improvement mode, the book tends to drag after about the first hour.

It’s just OK

Given the big, successful names in this book, I thought it would bring a lot of deep and interesting stories/advice, but it read a bit more like a high school essay (with a strong unfinished feeling).

Make for a great coffee table book.

I would prefer to have a paperback, something I can pick up and read when in need of inspiration.
