"Life lessons from New York Times bestselling author and Today show personality Al Roker and his wife, globetrotting ABC news journalist Deborah Roberts. Al Roker and Deborah Roberts have sixteen Emmy Awards between them. They have covered everything from the Olympics and the Gulf War to natural disasters and the AIDS crisis in Africa. Now these two married journalists and parents have collaborated on the most personal and important "story" of their lives. Been There, Done That is a funny, heartfelt, and empowering collection of life lessons, hard-won wisdom, and instructive family anecdotes from Al and Deborah's lives, from their parents and grandparents, and from dear friends, famous and not. Here, Al and Deborah candidly share childhood obstacles like obesity and growing up in the segregated south; the challenges and blessings that come from raising very different kids; hard-won truths about marriage and career; the illuminating "little things" that adults can learn from children; and the genuine wisdom that the elderly can share with a younger generation. These are real-life stories told from every perspective--from parent, spouse, daughter, son, and friend, stories that every reader can relate to, appreciate, and share. "--… (plus d'informations)

This is the autobiography of Al Roker, TV weatherman for NBC, and author, and Deborah Roberts television correspondent for 20/20 on ABC. They are married, come from different backgrounds, and work and sometimes compete in the same industry. This is how they make their marriage work. The autobiography is told in a series of vignettes told from each other points of view. There nothing off limits everything is touched upon from their sex life to their disagreements over car driving, and child rearing. The net effect of this is to get the reader to examine their own family life and career, a family decisions.
Yes this books seems to intended for a married audience . It does give the reader insights into the decisions and sacrifices women and men make to get the news to the public. In this way it is similar to Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV by Brian Stelter This book focused laser like of the Ann Curry affair and Robin Roberts cancer. Been There Done That argues that individuals in the television news business do not have to be as cutthroat, while still being competitive. Overall this was a fun and happy book to read. ( )

To the memory of my parents, Al and Isabel Roker: thank you for teaching me that parenting is a fluid thing and that marriage is a marathon as opposed to a sprint.
And to our children, Courtney, Leila and Nick: you bless us every day even as you challenge us to be parents today than we were yesterday. --A.R.
If you are fortunate enough, you will look back on your life and recall a secure and happy childhood. I feel very fortunate to have had one, thanks to the firm and loving hands of Ben and Ruth Roberts. I owe everything to your selfless example of love and devotion.
My deepest desire is that my children will look back and feel the same way. I love you, Nick, Leila, and Courtney, and pray that my mistakes will make you stronger and wiser people. --D.R.
