Executive producer Mark Burnett has revolutionized television. Phrases from his smash-hit reality shows–“The tribe has spoken” and “You’re fired”–have become part of our cultural lexicon.

But in the long run, he notes, the rewards are so much greater for the risk.

In the book Mr. Burnett goes into very great detail for what it took to go from selling T-shirts on the beach to creating a number of the most popular reality shows on television. If anybody thinks that it's easy to make it into Hollywood then this book will show the exact opposite to be true.
The work ethic and the dream and vision to create something from nothing required to do what Mr. Burnett has done is exceptional. The great part about this gook is that he gives clues tips and tricks as to how to overcome so many no's. This is one of the greatest books I've ever read and inspiring for everyone. ( )
