Synopsis

Award-winning syndicated morning radio and television host Michael Patrick Shiels has authored a new book entitled: Invite Yourself to the Party. Your life can be extraordinary if you force yourself to show up, says Shiels, who explains that his rollicking book is motivational, inspirational, and anecdotal. By inviting himself to the party, Shiels has experienced everything from brushes with celebrities to run-ins with the law. This book encourages readers to find their own way to the memorable, exciting experiences waiting for them around every corner. You name it I ve done it...or failed to do it. I am a very regular person...who just happens to be living a very entertaining life. You can, too, he says. That s why I ve written this book. I am sharing these stories so that more people can enjoy the party that life really is. Invite Yourself to the Party reveals, among other things: Why physically writing down your fondest wishes turns them into goals...and then realities. Why you may have learned all you need to know about business success by trick or treating on Halloween. How to ensure better respect and treatment in your workplace. How to make your dinner parties the talk of the town. President George Bush s secret light em up game, and how you can do it, too! How to cozy up to celebrities and get inside the enclaves of show business. A close, but ultimately embarrassing encounter with Hollywood starlet Morgan Fairchild.

Review

If I am throwing a party, Michael Patrick is going to be on my invitation list. No one knows how to mix it up with all people, and all subject matter better than Mr. Sheils. Now you can learn to be the life of the party from the very best there is! --Jim Nantz, CBS Sports

Invite Yourself to the Party, just released last month, and it is part memoir, part advice, part rollicking story of a life well lived. Michael s premise is that in order to have a good time you have to want to have a good time, and instead of waiting for things to happen, you should make them happen thus, you have to invite yourself to the party, something he has been doing all around the world for two decades. Michael recounts his adventures and meetings with celebrities and royalty, his golf trips, basically the parties to which he has invited himself, along with concert advice on how you can do the same. --Larry Olmsted
