(2) Cathie Black, Christie Hefner, Etc., Tell How They Got What It Takes?

Longtime New York tv personality Bill Boggs (best-known of his 15 programs is 1970s/ 1980s host on the now-Fox-owned WNYW-TV's Midday Live), who has also been seen nationally on The Food Network, uses How I succeeded examples from Hearst Magazines president (since 1995) Black, Playboy Enterprises Inc. ceo (since 1988) Hefner, and those of 42 other celebs (from Mario Cuomo to Donald Trump and from Maria Bartiromo to René„ Zellweger). Though the suggestion from the Got What It Takes? book jacket is that everybody tells his or her story separately (meaning 44 chapters), what Boggs smartly does is integrate the celebs' ideas. "What I did was to gather the material first and then organize it from 2,000-plus pages of notes to 318 pages of text," he says. "That is opposite the usual process."

Thus, Newsweek columnist Anna Quindlen's way to Find Your Path is different from ex-AOL ceo Bob Pittman's. But there they are together for readers to compare.

At the book's end, Boggs gives a thank you to wife Carol Campbell Boggs, who, as More publisher (2001-2004) and Hallmark founding publisher (August 2006) more than Got What It Takes? in a very competitive business. Book's release is tomorrow (April 10), and Boggs will be saluted Wednesday (April 11) at New York's Friar's Club.
