Talking to Strangers: The Adventures of a Life Insurance Salesman

In May 1969, the author Peter Rosengard became a life insurance salesman in London "for the glamour, the fast cars, the groupies...", the beautiful women who would go to any length to buy life insurance. It's a closely guarded secret.' Thus begins Peter Rosengard's extraordinary account of his life so far, and the never-ending adventures in which he made, lost, and remade a fortune; founded London's legendary Comedy Store and discovered some of the greats in stand-up comedy; turned an unknown band into a chart-topping sensation; and sold the world's largest life insurance policy in history, which is still celebrated by the Guinness Book of Records. But it's not his actions that make this book so amusing and inspiring. It's the method. Talking to Strangers requires a certain amount of chutzpah. However, it is also about doing the right thing.

Whether he's attempting to establish the world's largest charity in a single day, assisting a baggage-handler terrorist-attack hero to inspire others, or simply finding a job for a stranger, Rosengard's relentless, manic, and often infuriating energy is testament to a simple belief that 'nothing' is impossible.

Peter's book is a fantastic rollercoaster ride through a life well lived. He dispenses wisdom, wit, and empathy in equal measure. His experiences range from founding the Comedy Store to managing a chart-topping popgroup to selling the world's largest life insurance policy for $100 million over the phone. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in business or life in general.
