Albom, Mitch

While Mitch Albom was originally a sports writer and gained fame as the author of 'Tuesdays with Morrie', his latest work is a result of the reader's reaction to the first one.

DM) When it comes to death, it sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable.

MA) I don't look at it that way. I think Tuesdays with Morrie was a book about a man who was dying, but was really a book about how to live. This book, "The Five People you Meet in Heaven", has heaven in the title but is really about life on earth. I think that in my books, death is used as a perspective to say, "If you really want to understand what matters in life, then you can put it against the biggest picture that you can.".

Dr. Drew

Dr. Drew discusses why he does what he does and how he's a doctor first, media spokesman second. He's never stopped practicing medicine and he tells us why.

DM) When you came out with the book [Cracked: Putting Broken Lives Together Again], to me it was clear that your goal was to get out some important medical information. But, you also have celebrity and notoriety on your side, where people know you from the radio and television. Does that celebrity or characterization take the focus away from the serious medical issues that you're discussing?

DD) I work every day of my life as a doctor and very few people think of me that way or even know of me in that light.

The Wealthy Bag Lady teaches us how to use our feminine side to succeed in business.

DM) What gave you the idea to start your book?

LH) Well, I had been an entrepreneur for 20 years and basically, I couldn't find a book that spoke to me as a woman entrepreneur. They were all written from a generic point of view, or a male point of view. And women have these issues and challenges as entrepreneurs and business women, so I thought there needed to be a book out there that addressed these issues and concerns. And really one of the things that I address in my book is femininity as a base of power rather then a weakness.

Motivational Guru Anthony Robbins goes over his coaching techniques and theories, and explains why people put themselves in bad states, and how to get out of them.

DM) Do you ever have a bad day where you aren't as productive as you'd like to be?

AR) (Laughs) That's the most commonly asked question anybody ever asks me! They usually say something a little bit more direct like, "Come on, you can't be UP all of the time?!? Don't you get depressed? Even on the weekends, where you grow your beard, read Penthouse, and eat cheetos?"

Honestly, I have times where I get frustrated, or I feel a bit overwhelmed, or whatever the case may be, but I just don't stay there.

Hill, Henry

The movie Goodfellas was based on one of the first Mafia informants, Henry Hill. Henry talks about what he's doing now, having been in hiding for 21 years, and how he views his life, in retrospect.

DM) How valid are the threats that you receive?

HH) You've got to read some of the e-mails I get. At this point, who knows, it's been 21 years. But trust me, I guard my privacy. Over the Internet I've received numerous threats and I've been posting them as "the best threats of the week."

DM) Now that you're not in the Witness Protection Program any longer, who is responsible for protecting you?

HH) The FBI is responsible for that now. With the Witness Protection Program, I was all over the
country.

Piven, Josh

How would you survive a plane fall, hijacking, attack and a few dozen of those common everyday catastrophes. In case of the worst, Josh has prepared for it all. His best selling book has climbed to the top of the book charts and he tells us in this interview a little behind the scenes about his own personal 'worst case scenarios.'

DM) What inspired you to write this book?

JP) In general, the book was inspired by our mix of paranoia and too much television while growing up. More directly, it was inspired by a magazine article on how to land a plane if the pilot becomes incapacitated (a scenario that we cover in the book).

DM) How "accurate" are the solutions that are proposed?

JP) All the instructions are accurate. Since we did not have the knowledge ourselves, we spent six months researching the scenarios.
