This book is about how some people succeed and others fail when life throws them a curve ball. 

It contains example after example of folks who overcame odds by doing something proactive.

That's why two of the best chapters are on jealousy and shame.  Jealousy kills relationships and careers and shame kills self-esteem.  We face no shortage of both in life.  There is a better way not to fall victim.

S#@t happens as the saying goes, but good things happen as well.  

They don't come from winning the lottery or necessarily getting your way.  You grasp success from the jaws of defeat.  Steve Jobs had his company stolen away from him by the man he put in charge to run Apple and then by taking a circuitous route, returned to put in perhaps his most productive years with iPod, iPhone, iMac, iPad and iTunes.  

The media industry is one big bag of bad luck these days, so you will want to gain a new appreciation for taking bad breaks and making good outcomes.

That's what this book is all about.
