Story4.5 out of 5 stars 941
After a childhood spent on Hollywood film sets, Meghan Markle fought hard for stardom. But even when she landed her breakthrough role on Suits, her dream of worldwide celebrity remained elusive until she met the man who would change her life—Prince Harry. Their whirlwind romance culminated with Meghan’s ultimate fairy tale ending: their 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle. Finally, the world was her stage. It seemed that the dizzying success of the wedding between the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked the beginning of a fresh era for the British Royal Family.

Great read/listen. The author is well respected in the Royal Community and is considered one of the very few experts on the Royal Family. I am glad this came out before Harry’s disrespectful and whiny book.

Brilliant, entertaining and logical!

I got this book after seeing many interviews with Dr. Saad, I was intrigued. He has a very sarcastic sense of humor, which I can relate to!
His material is common sense and MAKES sense, backed by data and modern day examples. Easy to grasp.
Suggestion: Next book: Dr. Saad should be the narrator. I guess his editor talked him out about that.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders served as White House press secretary for President Donald J. Trump from 2017 to 2019. A trusted confidante of the president, Sanders advised him on everything from press and communications strategy to personnel and policy. She was at the president's side for two and a half years, battling with the media, working with lawmakers and CEOs, and accompanying the president on every international trip, including dozens of meetings with foreign leaders - all while unfailingly exhibiting grace under pressure.

Former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was very candid in her storytelling. She gave us a different perspective not only about the president, but as a conservative Christian woman in the cruel, political world. As a woman, I appreciated hearing her experiences both with left wing, double standard, main stream media. She is very tough and resilient. I enjoyed hearing her story directly from her. Highly recommended.

For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

Worth the “read”
Reviewed: 06-15-20
I really, really was totally captured in the pain, triumphs & obstacles Ms. Moore overcame. I felt part of me could identify in the image/pressures we as women face.
This was her life, her perception, her experiences through her own eyes.
However, I thought there was too much time spent on Ashton Kutcher. I felt a sense of more shifting of blame on him, rather than focusing on “her side of the street.”
I still will “read” again and recommend.

The Netflix series Making a Murderer quickly became a huge hit, with over 19 million viewers in the US in the first 35 days. The series left many viewers with the opinion that Steven Avery - a man falsely imprisoned for almost 20 years on a rape charge - was railroaded into prison a second time by a corrupt police force and district attorney's office. Viewers were outraged, and hundreds of thousands demanded a pardon for Avery. The chief villain of the series: Ken Kratz, the special prosecutor who headed the investigation and prosecution.

Well done: Factual, clear and concise
Reviewed: 04-05-19
As a Wisconsinite, I clearly remember the horror of this case when it first unraveled. Of course, something the Halbach Family never forgot. After the “documentary” of Making a Murderer was irresponsibly made and created ridiculous sensationalism, something needed to be done in response. Former Calumet County District Attorney Kratz accomplishes this by once again presenting the overwhelming evidence against coldblooded, irredeemable killers. Well written, Kratz pulls no punches, including on himself.

A memoir of unblinking honesty and poignant, laugh-out-loud humor, Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure - the sober life she never wanted. For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was "the gasoline of all adventure". She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. But there was a price. Publicly, she covered her shame with self-deprecating jokes, and her career flourished, but as the blackouts accumulated, she could no longer avoid a sinking truth.

The disease of addiction affects 1 out of 10 people in the United States, and is a devastating - often, fatal - illness. Now, from the physician director of the renowned Betty Ford Center, comes a step-by-step plan with a realistic "one-day-at-a-time" approach to a disease that so often seems insurmountable. With a focus on reclaiming the power that comes from a life free of dependency, Being Sober walks listeners through the many phases of addiction and recovery without judgment or the overly "cultish" language of traditional 12-step plans.

Duff McKagan is one of the most respected survivors in hard rock. In How to Be a Man, he shares the wisdom he gained on the path to superstardom - from his time with Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver to getting sober after a life of hard living to achieving his personal American dream of marrying a supermodel, raising a family, and experiencing what it's like to be winked at by Prince.

Duff is a such an incredibly talented writer, storyteller, musician, and the list goes on! However, having JUST 'read' the amazing "It's So Easy", I have to say that it was a tough act to follow.
Still inspiring & appreciated though!!!
