Shine
A Powerful 4-Step Plan for Becoming a Star in Anything You Do
Larry Thompson
In this pop culture, self-help book, Thompson explains to readers not only how to look like a Star, but more importantly, how to think, act, live, and become a Star in their own lives. Offering action-oriented exercises, probing questions, celebrity examples, and personal anecdotes, Larry brings to life four essential elements needed for ultimate success in any field: TALENT, RAGE, TEAM, and LUCK. He provides the prescription and support a reader needs to realize an “extreme motivational makeover” and map out their own unique Road to Stardom. Reflecting upon the extraordinary experiences of his celebrity clients, which have included Drew Barrymore, Cindy Crawford, William Shatner, Barry White, Shannen Doherty, Mariska Hargitay, Jason Bateman, Iman, and Sonny & Cher, Larry has written an innovative, celebrity oriented, self-help book wrapped within the tinsel of Hollywood but presented to everybody who wants to Shine in their own life and reach their full potential.
The book serves as the catalyst for Project Rise & Shine™, an organization he has founded whereby successful stars, who serve as role models to so many fans, can use their power of celebrity to uplift and motivate others to become stars in their own lives. This living community will provide daily personal guidance and original inspiring programming through a dynamic online networking environment, a series of motivational workshops, and personal affirmative stories directly from celebrities themselves.
