"WWE champion Chris Jericho shares 20 of his most valuable lessons for achieving your goals and living the life you want, jam-packed with fantastic stories. Chris Jericho has known what he wanted out of life since he was a teenager: to be a pro wrestler and to be in a rock 'n' roll band. Most of his high school friends felt that he lacked the tools necessary to get into either, but Chris believed in himself. With the wise words of Master Yoda echoing through his head ("Do or do not. There is no try."), he made it happen. As a result, Chris has spent a lifetime doing instead of merely trying, managing to achieve his dreams while learning dozens of invaluable lessons along the way. He distills more than two decades of showbiz wisdom and advice into twenty easy-to-carry chapters. From developing a strong work ethic thanks to WWE chairman Vince McMahon, remembering to always look like a star from Gene Simmons of KISS, learning to let it go when the America's Funniest Home Videos hosting gig goes to his rival, adopting a sense of perpetual reinvention from the late David Bowie, making sure to sell himself like his NHL-legend father Ted Irvine taught him, or going the extra mile to meet Keith Richards, Chris has learned countless lessons. He recounts the fantastic and hilarious stories that led to the birth of these rules. An inspiring book from the man with many scarves but only one drive: to be the best. After reading it, you'll discover that you might have what it takes to succeed as well. Chris Jericho is a six-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the lead singer of heavy metal band Fozzy, and the host of the Talk Is Jericho podcast. He now lives in Tampa, Florida"--Provided by publisher.

"Christopher Keith Irvine, better known by the ring name Chris Jericho, is a Canadian-American professional wrestler, musician, media personality, actor, author, podcaster, and businessman signed to WWE on the SmackDown brand, where he is currently on a hiatus due to an expected tour with Fozzy. Irvine was born in Manhasset, New York. His father, Canadian hockey player Ted Irvine, had relocated there to play for the New York Rangers. When his father retired, they moved back to Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is known for his over-the-top, rockstar persona. Jericho's autobiography, A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex was released in 2007. It covers Jericho's life and wrestling career up to his debut in the WWE. Jericho's second autobiography Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps, was released in February 2011, and covers his wrestling career since his WWE debut. In September 2014, Jericho's third book, The Best In The World...At What I Have No Idea, was published"--From wikipedia.org website.
