DARE TO SUCCEED How to Survive in the Game of Life

The former British paratrooper worked as a nanny for an entertainment executive, sold T-shirts, and started a financial services company before he became a TV producer. Guided by a lust for adventure and competition, he harnessed a deeply rooted work ethic to develop an extreme sports competition for the Discovery channel and from there to create the wildly successful "Survivor" show. This is the story of how he held the vision for these shows and overcame many obstacles to make his ideas a reality. Written by a true adventurer,it's a captivating lesson in determination, managing risk, and working with a team, and it's expressed with endearing gusto by Alan Shearman. T.W.
