'Explosive' Esquire 'Epic' Financial Times 'Riveting' Vanity Fair
Sumner Redstone was the CEO of Hollywood's most influential
company: the powerhouse behind Indiana Jones and Star Wars, film
studios and TV production companies, a fleet of private jets and
tailor-made jewellery lines. He was notorious for his fearsome
temper, his all-consuming ambition and his pledge to live forever.
Until, one day, he lost control. Unscripted is the story of an
empire embroiled in scandal, a will in tatters, and a family on the
edge of self-destruction. It sounds too outrageous to be true -
except it is. 'A racy tale of big money, bigger egos and #MeToo
disgrace.' The Times 'Addicted to Succession? Well, here's the real
thing.' Hollywood Reporter
What really makes a relationship work? How can we stay interested
in our partner for ever? How can we be happier in our marriage?
Doctors John and Julie Gottman have spent over three decades
studying the habits of 3000 couples. Within 10 minutes of meeting a
couple, they can predict who will stay happily together or who will
split up, with 94% accuracy. Based on their findings on the
ingredients to a happy, lasting love life, they have now created an
easy series of eight dates, spanning: - commitment & trust -
conflict resolution - intimacy & sex - fun & adventure -
work & money - family values - growth & spirituality -
goals & aspirations Eight Dates draws on rigorous scientific
and psychological research about how we fall in love using case
studies of real-life couples whose relationships have improved
after committing time to each other and following the dates. Full
of innovative exercises and conversation starters to explore ways
to deepen each aspect of the relationship, Eight Dates is an
essential resource that makes a relationship fulfilling. 'Can a
marriage really be understood? Yes it can. Gottman shows us how'
Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink
'Addicted to Succession? Well, here's the real thing.' Hollywood
Reporter The shocking inside story of how dysfunction, misconduct
and scandal almost brought down one of Hollywood's greatest
companies. Unscripted is the inside story of the struggle to
control one of the world's great entertainment empires. It is the
story of the last great Hollywood mogul, Sumner Redstone: the
ninety-something founder of Paramount Global who, well into his
dotage and facing a scandalous lawsuit, proves increasingly unable
to run the sprawling company he has built. It is the story of his
daughter, Shari Redstone: Sumner's heir apparent who, despite being
groomed for power for six decades, struggles to assert her
authority over the company and her family's legacy. And it is the
story of her challenger, Leslie Moonves: the well-liked CEO of CBS
who plots a coup to take control of the business - until news leaks
that he is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct
(allegations he has spent years trying to hush up). The result is
damning portrait of how money and power works in Hollywood now. It
illuminates an industry struggling to adapt to the revolution
brought by streaming, #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. And it reveals
the lengths people will go to in pursuit of power - and the carnage
that ensues when they do.
