"It is quite remarkable that three self-described nobodies took it upon themselves to harangue and cajole some of the most powerful people in this country - politicians, star athletes, captains of industry - into giving them not only their time but a revealing look at their lives."
... a great and unexpected look across the country at the different paths people take to different kinds of success. The book is kind of comforting to those who aren't entirely sure of how to proceed or even of how they have already proceeded along their road through life This book would be a good recommendation to a student looking for their path or unsure of their own potential to succeed It does a good job of reinforcing the notion that there is not always a singular and defined path to success and for different people success can take on very different forms. The fact that the book is specifically about Canadians helps the cast be more relatable and human, which strengthens the effectiveness of the book. - Rajio, Ohmpage.com
The intent for the book was to feel like a casual conversation and it doesn't disappoint The book has a natural dialogue feel which extends nicely into the authors' plan to invite others to submit stories, interviews and especially get young people talker ... This is a great book, and simply put, written by some great guys. - Gloria Nickerson, Here, June 5, 2008
