Did you know that Beethoven made every cup of coffee with exactly
60 beans? Or that Shirley Temple always had precisely 56 curls in
her hair? Or that the young Frank Sinatra practised underwater
swimming as a way of developing his ability to hold long breaths?
In I Didn't Get Where I Am, Charlie Croker brings his proven blend
of gripping trivia and incisive humour to the question of how
famous high achievers reached those heights. We'll see Chopin
sleeping with wedges between his fingers to increase their span,
learn how P.G. Wodehouse reminded himself which pages of a
manuscript still needed work, and find out why Thomas Edison chose
his research assistants on the basis of their soup-eating habits.
This revealing and entertaining book provides countless glimpses
into the methods - and sometimes madness - of the world's most
famous figures. From ancient Egypt to the modern day, you're about
to learn the secrets of their success...
