About this listen

Richard Reed built Innocent Drinks from a smoothie stall on a street corner to one of the biggest brands in Britain. He credits his success to four brilliant pieces of advice, each given to him just when he needed them most.

Ever since, it has been Richard's habit, whenever he meets somebody he admires, to ask them for their best piece of advice. If they could tell him just one thing, what would it be?

Richard has collected pearls of wisdom from some of the most remarkable, inspiring and game-changing people in the world - in business, tech, philanthropy, politics, sport, art, spirituality, medicine, film, and design.

From Hollywood greats like Judi Dench and Richard Curtis, to entrepreneurial legends like Richard Branson and Simon Cowell; from sports stars and TV personalities like Andy Murray and James Cordon to political activists and born survivors like Mandela's Comrades and Katie Piper, Richard has picked some of the world's most interesting brains to give you a lesson in how to live, how to love, how to create and how to succeed.

it's a collection of 65 short insights into famous people. Great to dip in and out of.

I loved the concept of this book and found the advice given and descriptions of the meetings that took place gave insight to both the person involved and their views on life in general. It was light hearted and fun.
However it was massively spoilt for me by the writers own personal and political views which are clearly stated throughout and, in my opinion twisted the advice to meet his own agenda, thoughts and ideals. I believe it would have been better to let the subjects do the talking. As a successful business man his best advice would behave been welcome also.

Great concept, marred by writers personal politics

Although there is nothing mind blowing in this book, it is still good to be reminded of what is important in this journey we call life. And this book, though far from perfect, is filed with little peaks of wisdom. Plus, it is well written and nicely narrated. All in all an entertaining read/listen.

Absolutely brilliant apart from the last chapter. Nicola Sturgeon just doesn't fit in on such a book. Otherwise, amazing stuff
