By the age of eighteen, Donny Osmond was a genuine entertainment phenomenon -- a member of the Osmond Brothers; a solo artist; half of a duo with his sister, Marie; and co-host of the immensely popular late 1970s television variety show, Donny and Marie. Then, by the early 1980s, his squeaky-clean teen-idol image had become so unfashionable that Michael Jackson advised him to change his name.In Life Is Just What You Make It, Donny tells stories from his career and describes how he kept his faith, his dignity, and his sense of humor through creative, emotional, and financial setbacks. For the first time ever, he reveals his battle with social phobia, a common but debilitating anxiety disorder that threatened not only his career but his entire life as well. Rather than giving up when times got rough, he learned to persevere and follow his own path. Along the way, he discovered that life really is what you make it.Osmond, Donny is the author of 'Life Is Just What You Make It My Story So Far' with ISBN 9781401308612 and ISBN 1401308619.
