A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A series of “remarkable interviews” (The Times) at a key point in the lives of 67 famous people – some of the movers and shakers of our time – answering frankly the skillful questioning of one of the UK’s best known TV news anchormen. Here, in their own words, you will find the considered thoughts and experiences of fascinating men and women from a wide range of professions, including Dame Judi Dench, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Lord Sebastian Coe, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Billy Connolly, Michael Palin, Sir David Frost, Sir Richard Branson, Andrew Marr, Sir Norman Foster, Lord Maurice Saatchi, Sir George Martin, Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Nick Park, Sir Cliff Richard, Dame Stella Rimington, Sir Terry Wogan, Sir Jackie Stewart, Tony Blair, Shimon Peres and FW de Klerk. Some, like Yehudi Menuhin, Richard Holbrook, George Carmen QC and Dame Cicely Saunders are no longer with us, but they leave behind their wise counsel in these pages. First published in 1997, these many interpretations of success are a snapshot in time, but also timeless – and probably more relevant and helpful than ever in these especially difficult times in which we live. “Martyn Lewis has made an enormous understanding of success and what it means”. Bernard Levin in The Times “.......a tribute to Lewis’s skill as an interviewer, the wisdom of his interlocutors and the eternal fascination of the subject”. Times Literary Supplement “There is much to entertain. The interviews with Tim Henman and Matthew Parris should be excerpted and made compulsory reading as part of the National Curriculum”. The Sunday Telegraph

Biographie de l'auteur

Martyn Lewis is one of the UK’s best known TV anchormen. Across three decades, he presented every mainstream national TV news programme, including ITV’s News At Ten and the BBC’s Nine O’Clock News, and special live programmes on major events, including the start of the first Gulf War and the death of the Princess of Wales. The history of Independent Television News describes him as “simply one of the best news story film-makers ITN ever employed.” He now presents videos and chairs business conferences and debates for leading organisations worldwide, and is heavily involved in the UK voluntary sector, chairing its main umbrella organization NCVO, Families of the Fallen, the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service and YouthNet’s www.thesite.org (which he founded). In 1993, he made the news himself with two controversial and widely-debated speeches arguing for a shift in the agenda of TV news programmes to achieve a fairer balance between the positive and the negative, and analyse success and achievement as well as failure – a theme to which he has recently returned with an argument for “solutions-driven journalism”. He was awarded a CBE in the Prime Minister’s 1997 New Year Honours List.
