Since Turner is such a public personality, much of the material will not be new to the listener, but the sections where he deals with his relationship with his father and his early work in the communication business are enlightening.  Turner does shed additional light on the creation of his television empire, his involvement in the America's Cup and his World Series win with the Atlanta Braves.

One of the most captivating (although disgusting) segments dealt with the treatment that Turner received when he joined AOL and was treated very badly and lost the bulk of his wealth. Turner, in response to his loss, told a group of people that he would continue to hang in there and do his best to make it on the billion that he had left.

The "Ted Stories" validate, or add additional information to, some of the events in Turner’s life.  Turner was very skimpy (as should be the case) with information about his marriage and break up with Jane Fonda, but he did go far enough to say it was not because she became a Christian.  Fonda, on the other hand, offered some insights into Turner’s deep problems in one of the "Ted Stories."

The book is very easy to listen to.  It’s as if Turner is saying, "Hey, I have something important to say, so listen."  This is one of the very few instances I would recommend the audio version over the print version.
