I'm an author, and I also program an internet radio station. There are lots of people out there trying to break in (and through) doing both, so anything to make one standout would be very helpful. It would also help to actually have something interesting to say if you do get the feel of any type or part of a spotlight. I believe this book, if nothing else, may offer some insight on how to gain some exposure, which I would take over fame any day of the week. I kind of like being able to shop at Kroger.
I don't suppose it could hurt to read the book. The question is, how much would it hurt to buy it?
Hmm and double-hmm....

Fame tends to be fleeting, and enough exists to give people what is it, fifteen minutes of it? Whether's it's ten or twenty minutes though, I believe the public deserves to be "served" by our work, rather than give standing ovations and fame to us. It is this service that ultimately brings lasting happiness -- the giving -- more than what we "get," in this case -- fame.

A nice article based on a book. I respect authors opinion and research but I guess if someone famous writes about 'how to be famous', I would certainly be interested. Or someone like Donald Trump writes the book on this topic, it would be more interesting. In this case, someone knows the recipe of getting famous yet is not famous. Should we spend money to buy book and spend time to read it ?
