Keep it Smooth

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

A memoir from veteran entertainer Cameron Daddo about confidence: how we nurture it, how we lose it and how we can get it back again

Multi-talented Cameron Daddo has been a part of the Australian entertainment scene since the late '80s. But you might be surprised to learn that, despite appearances, he grew up lacking confidence. He was a stutterer as a kid, then a restless student and uni dropout, before going on to build a life in showbiz.

In this memoir, Cameron shares the valuable lessons he's learnt along the way, some very publicly: the rejections, the victories and everything in between. Through a series of intimate conversations, he also explores public and private crises in the lives of extraordinary Australians, including Keith Urban and Marcia Hines, Michael O'Loughlin and Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald, Indira Naidoo and Alyssa Healy.

Inspiring and empowering, Keep It Smooth shows us how to rally when we feel we have nothing left to give, and how we can learn to find confidence within.

'A searingly honest account of Cam's relationship with work, life, confidence and most importantly himself, as he generously shares his deepest fears and challenges. Cam's story is deeply personal, and the people he interviews are just as honest. This book is packed with life lessons, guts and reassurance that we all need to back ourselves.' - Melissa Doyle

'Cameron fearlessly leads the way into unearthing why we might lack confidence, and then explores how we might not only restore confidence but grow it in ourselves and others.' - Osher Gunsberg

'These pages are the hand-holders that we all need to be reminded we are capable of creating our potential.' - Dr Rebecca Ray, bestselling author of Setting Boundaries
