I don't agree with the other reviewer, maybe he was looking for a kind of book like K. Callan's. I like this book, because it provides what most aspiring actors, directors, writers need, that is, inspiration. It provide full of ideas to break in showbiz, the importance of networking, the difference with the corporate world. If you are looking for acting books, I recommend Acting is everything, a book full of resources and savvy advice.
