Few Australian journalists have been as prolific as Phillip Adams. Adams has written about three million words in books, newspapers and magazines, and he's spoken many more words than that as host of Late Night Live, four nights a week for twenty years. But these words don't describe his personal regrets or indicate his weaknesses. They hint at his joys but don't provide the details.

Adams hypnotizes women (especially) with his intellect, and he is an enigma. This book reveals many hilarious anecdotes and examples of his brilliant mind. Along the way, Phillip Adams has crossed paths and occasionally come to blows with some of Australia's most prominent people, including politicians, ad-men, film directors, business leaders, broadcasters and media tycoons—the list reads like a who's who of Australia.
