Bonus Feature: Book


The proudly naked {in}famous sole survivor of the CBS reality series Survivor is best known for his outlandishly cocky behavior that took him all the way. In his book 101 Survival Secrets: How to Make $1,000,000, Lose 100 Pounds, and Just Plain Live Happily, Rich Hatch shares everything he didn't have time for on the island.

His blunt take on life is shockingly honest, occasionally obvious and I like it. Hatch has no tolerance for excuses. After a quick chapter filled with back story {and plenty of excuse-building events}, Hatch challenges the reader to get down to self-examination with his brash 'suck it up' attitude.

The novelty of the book was certainly the catalyst for purchase. But surprisingly, the book is a cohesive read that manages to move beyond the kitch. Rich actually has something worth listening too.
