Lecture and Book Signing with Katie Couric

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation welcomed award-winning journalist and best-selling author Katie Couric to the Reagan Library for a lecture and book signing for her book, The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives.

In this inspiration-packed book, Katie Couric shares stories from the worlds of politics, entertainment, sports, philanthropy, the arts, and business—distilling the ingenious, hard-won insights of leaders and visionaries, who tell us all how to take chances, follow our passions, cope with criticism, and, perhaps most important, commit to something greater than ourselves.

Among the many voices to be heard here are financial guru Suze Orman on the benefits of doing whats’ right, not what’s easy; director Steven Spielberg on listening rather than being listened to; quarterback Drew Brees on how his (literal) big break changed his life; and novelist Curtis Sittenfeld on the secrets of a great long-term relationship (she suggests marrying someone less neurotic than you); not to mention Bill Cosby, Michael Bloomberg, Eric Stonestreet, Joyce Carol Oates and more. Katie Couric is an award-winning journalist, author of the best-selling book The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons From Extraordinary Lives, and popular TV personality who has recently joined the ABC News team and will host and produce her own nationally syndicated talk show premiering in September 2012.
