"Where was this book when I was starting out? Nick Wyman gives the young actor an indispensable roadmap to navigate the 'business of show' and does so with his unique blend of honesty, wit, and boundless compassion." — Tony Goldwyn     "Nick Wyman's book is as entertaining as it is valuable. Climbing Rejection Mountain is filled to the brim with detailed, practical advice on functioning as an actor, written from the perspective of an expert. In sharing stories from his own successful and varied career, Nick imparts wisdom and insight that any actor—and indeed, any working professional—could benefit from. At the same time, each page is filled with wit and humanity. With his decades of experience, and thoughtful intelligence, Nick gives readers an arsenal of specific recommendations on both day-to-day life as an actor and also the bigger picture. The book is a must-read for actors at any stage of their career." — Jennifer Ashley Tepper     "Wonderful. Full of really helpful information! It's a terrific handbook for both the aspiring actor and inspiration for anyone in the business who wants to remember why they are there. Really useful! AND entertaining. It's given me a lot to think about, and I'm out of the game! I wish I'd had something as clear as this when I was starting out." — Dana Ivey     "Where was this book when I needed it!?!? Of the many pleasures of this incredibly useful and insightful guide, one of the greatest, surely, is spending time in the company of Nick Wyman. Reading "CRM" is like sharing a dressing room with Nick (I have been so blessed): his intelligence, experience, sense of humor, wit, practicality, and humanity are on every page." — Boyd Gaines     "Nick Wyman's voice is as resonant on the page as it is on the stage! His singular wit, warmth and wisdom will leave you smiling. It will also leave you smarter about making a living, no making a life, in show business." — Jenn Gambatese     "Nick writes it like he lives it. When climbing mountains, he makes the switchbacks great fun!" — Jeff McCarthy     "As a young actress living in New York, I thankfully got my hands on this book right before two of the biggest meetings of my career. It's the perfect tool to prep you for those career milestones like landing an agent, meeting with producers, joining a union, or picking a school if you're just starting out. Plus, it's the prefect length for a plane ride from NYC to LA. If it wasn't for this book, I'd still be going to open calls rather than agent appointments." — Loretta Ann Miller     "I have four Ws to describe "Climbing Rejection Mountain": wise, witty, winning and wonderful! Just like its author! So that makes five Ws, if you count Wyman, for his five Cs. What a splendid, heartening book!" — Kate Hampton
