What makes a life truly interesting? Is it the people you meet? The risks you take? The adventures you remember?

Jonathan Goldsmith has many answers to that question. For years he was a struggling actor in New York and Los Angeles, with experiences that included competing for roles with Dustin Hoffman, getting shot by John Wayne, drinking with Tennessee Williams, and sailing the high seas with Fernando Lamas, never mind romancing many lovely ladies along the way.

However, it wasn't all fun and games for Jonathan. Frustrated with his career, he left Hollywood for other adventures in business and life. But then, a fascinating opportunity came his way - a chance to star in a new campaign for Dos Equis beer. A role he was sure he wasn't right for, but he gave it a shot all the same. Which led to the role that would bring him the success that had so long eluded him - that of "The Most Interesting Man in the World".

A memoir told through a series of adventures and the lessons he's learned and wants to pass on, Stay Interesting is a truly daring and bold tale and a manifesto about taking chances, not giving up, making courageous choices, and living a truly adventurous and always interesting life.

Very good narration of an inspirational story and a life well-lived. Many funny antidotes. Inspires us to each become our own version of the most interesting man in the world!

As a working actor in Hollywood, I was moved and thoroughly entertained by Goldsmith's story and narration. I dropped out of the business for about twenty-five years, then started again and found success. Hell, I even drove out to California from New York back in the seventies in a VW bug, just like Jonathan. What he went through and how he triumphed should bring inspiration to anyone who listens to "Stay Interesting". There is always hope. Never give up!

A collection of personal anecdotes telling the more colorful parts of his life and how they all added up to making him the most interesting man in the world. I found some of the earlier parts to be a bit slow but once he began his acting career the book kicked into high gear. Still missing major parts of his life and how he made millions only to lose it. Also doesn't say anything about him becoming a father to five children until the very end and then as an afterthought - perhaps because parenting is the end of being cool/interesting.

the author's life was filled with so many twists and turns, and just like he said much more like a roller coaster ride and adventure. The story is an example of how people never up and how taking the advice of the parent will give them the vision to continue no matter what. And enjoyable story many times hard to believe but certainly much more interesting than the commercials themselves.

What a life!

Wonderful!

Press play, roll down the windows and drive slowly up the coast or through the mountains. Breathe deeply and as you listen to the stories of a truly interesting life told to you. Then allow yourself a fantastic opportunity, to become intoxicated by the anticipation of your own adventures in life.

Made me smile.

Excellent audiobook with lots of cool stories that will make you laugh. Good tips on how to be true to yourself and how to develop persistence.

Only downside is that some of the transitions in his stories are confusing and lack a sense of flow.
