Ready when You Are: Cecil B. Demille's Ten Commandments for Success Robert Hammond

What if the legendary director who invented Hollywood and the Biblical epic offered you his personal secrets to great achievement? Ready When You Are: Cecil B. DeMille's Ten Commandments for Success weaves the timeless wisdom of one of the greatest showman on earth into a detailed roadmap for successful living today. 

Cecil B. DeMille is famous for such epics as The Ten Commandments, Cleopatra, and the Greatest Show on Earth and was one of the founders of early Hollywood and Paramount Pictures with seventy feature films to his credit. 

Acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg credits DeMille for inspiring him to make movies and "dream for a living." Spielberg says, "C. B. DeMille showed me how to put a lot of money up on the big screen and then make the studios pay for it." 

DeMille's granddaughter, Cecilia de Mille Presley said that she considers Spielberg "the DeMille of today. Like Grandfather, he has consistently been able to capture vast audiences. He has had great commercial success without losing his personal vision or compromising his integrity."

In his latest book, comparable to such classics as The 7 Habits of Highly-Effective People, Think and Grow Rich, and Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun, author Robert Hammond reveals C. B. DeMille's secret strategies to achieve a life of career success and personal fulfillment. In addition to being an inspirational self-help book, Ready When You Are also includes scholarly research on the influence of Cecil B. DeMille's Biblical epics as well as recently-discovered articles on filmmaking written by DeMille himself.
