Today coanchor Al Roker presents an entertaining guide to
achieving a life of happiness and success through the power of "yes!"
These days, the road to success can feel jampacked with scheduling,
networking, nonstop hustle, and flat-out absurdity. And no one knows
that better than Al Roker--beloved cohost of The Today Show,
weatherperson extraordinaire, and the man we all secretly wish we could
turn to for wisdom and wisecracks in our everyday lives. From his
college days as a polyester suit-clad weather forecaster in Syracuse to
battling and buttering up the "Butter Man" during the legendary Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, Al has learned worthwhile lessons over a long,
successful career. And now, for the first time, Al is ready to unleash
savvy advice on how to embrace happiness and the power of saying "yes,"
alongside a host of humorous tips and tricks about how to succeed in
life.
In You Look So Much Better in Person, Al teaches us how we can weather
the storm of life, no matter how torrential the downpour, and shares
anecdotes from his own treasure trove of memories in the spotlight. And
it hasn't always been easy--believe it or not, even Al has been yelled
at by his boss, suffered an emotional breakdown at work, and been told
he'd be better suited in another position. Within these pages, he looks
back on his own career and shares valuable "Altruisms" that can be
applied to our own endeavors, such as how to:
- Navigate the special hell that is socializing
- Craft the perfect comeback line during a confrontation--and know when
to use it
- Get up early and actually make the most of your time
- Cry at work without freaking people out
- And much, much more!
Packed to the brim with cackle-inducing and cringeworthy
behind-the-scenes insights and observations from over four decades in
the media, this book reminds us all that long-term success in our
personal lives and our careers is just within reach. You Look So Much
Better in Person will leave you laughing out loud, inspired, and
comforted during life's best and worst moments.
