Hollywood's most athletic star wrote a success manual, and it grins like he did. Douglas Fairbanks preaches whistle-and-hoe optimism, taking stock of ourselves, the advantages of an early start, and the partnership of energy, success, and laughter. Pep from the man who did his own stunts. Read it in the spirit it was written: at a run.
