Kill 'em With Kindness
"Fierce Optimism" couldn't have been a more fitting title for this book, or for Leeza Gibbons herself! Entrepreneur, mom, wife, author, TV personality - she does it all and can teach you how to forge your own path and do it with a smile on your face. As someone who has spent the greater part of her life in the entertainment industry, I really enjoyed reading about Leeza's path to where she is now. It shows that hard work and perseverance DOES pay off. And doing it all while being KIND will get you further than you can imagine. I wish I had this book when I graduated from college - it would have been well-worn and dog-eared by now. This is definitely a book I'm going to refer back to again and again. I'm buying copies for all of my friends! Five stars! Highly recommended! - Lisa Goich-Andreadis, Los Angeles, Author: 14 Days

I LOVE, love, love this book!
I'm so in LOVE with this book! So much so that I bought the hardback version AND the audio and have listened to and read them several times. (Leeza's voice is such a pleasure... one of the most iconic/beloved of our time. Little known fact... Leeza has logged more radio hours than Casey Kasem and Dick Clark with her hypnotic voice.)Leeza is only the second woman—behind Joan Rivers—to win The Celebrity Apprentice, and she did it leading with kindness and modeling optimism (something The Donald said he'd never before seen). Which only proves that kindness and optimism need a makeover--a good publicist, as it were. Leeza is, thankfully, that gal. A role she was born for.If you're the mother of girls and want them to know how to succeed leading with their most precious traits, read this book! If you're a business woman and want to supercharge your success while avoiding the pitfalls most busy women encounter (including body shaming and dream stealing in the workforce), you're going to love these pages. There are so many gems here that I can't begin to cover them all, but for me, a lover of both self-help and memoir, it's the perfect blend. Revelatory, practical, magical, and vulnerable--like the woman herself. BRAVO, Leeza! I can't wait for your next book!

"Fierce Optimism" by Leeza Gibbons is absolutely, positively, no if's, and's or but's about it stellar! I have both the audio book and the hardcover. Leeza has many talents but it's her talent to inspire those around her to believe in themselves which sets her apart from a world of others. While her magic to motivate and inspire hope is clearly in her words, it is solidified in her delivery. The audio book gives her storytelling and secrets for success a super connect with anyone listening because it resonates like the casual conversation of a hometown friend. "Fierce Optimism" by Leeza Gibbons is a very elegantly down to earth book for anyone looking for hope in the arena of life.
