”““There can be only one … Larry Kasanoff! He is right, embrace the crazy to be more creative. I love A Touch of the Madness!”” —Christopher Lambert, star of Highlander”“E! has been reporting on Kasanoff and his movies for years, but we never got the real behind- the-scenes scoop—the literal method to his madness of creativity—until now.It’s a fun, helpful read!”” —Larry Namer, founder of E! Entertainment ““I loved and laughed at how Larry has navigated the choppy waters of Hollywood with A Touch of the Madness, and took away a whole new perspective on innovation. It inspired me to embrace the madness!”” —CaptainSandyYawn, star of Bravo’s Below Deck Mediterranean “”A Touch of the Madness has no charts, no graphs, no PowerPoint presentations, just a wealth of entertaining and eccentric stories that can reframe how you think about innovation for your business.“” —Marty Pompadur, former chairman of News Corporation (Europe) ““I wish I could prescribe A Touch of the Madness—it will change the way you think about creativity, with the only side effect being you’re having more fun. I recommend taking this asoften as needed.”” —Blaise Aguirre, MD, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School ““Don’t miss this hilarious tour of the secret underbelly of Hollywood! Larry Kasanoff’s signature approach to getting things done is wild, magical, and ultimately meaningful.”” —Pamela Meyer, author of Liespotting“
