In the tradition of Marlo Thomas' The Right Words at the Right Time, actor, author and activist Charles Grodin has collected over 100 intimate stories - from friends in the worlds of entertainment, sports, fashion, politics, and business - about the biggest mistake each of them has made and what they learned from the experience.
As Charles says, 'If you don't get wiser as you get older, then you just get older'. The core of this book is about identifying our mistakes, learning from them, and not repeating them. Charles Grodin, who has appeared in movies and television, has asked his friends - from Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Shirley MacLaine, Alan Alda, Regis Philbin, Joe Torre, and others - to share sometimes very revealing memories of the biggest mistake they've made. Rosie O'Donnell looks back to her college days. Regis Philbin learned to trust his instincts when an early talk show got cancelled. Irwin Redlener, the Co-founder of The Children's Health Fund, examines a near-mistake - how he almost cancelled a trip to see a grown son who soon after died in a skiing accident. This book offers intimate insights into dozens of celebrated figures' lives.
