Book Synopsis
Trust Your Inner GPS is Rich Fields' true story of how, from an early age, he always knew that one day he would be working with Bob Barker at The Price Is Right. How did he know that? What convinced Rich that if he put in the work, that the good Lord and the cosmos would reward him with his dream-job?
What was it that convinced Rich that working at TPIR was a part of his destiny in life? What was it that drove Rich with unbridled determination and laser-like focus to get to Stage 33 at CBS-Television City? Rich says that he made his life-long dream come true by trusting his, "Inner GPS."
And once Rich got the job at Price, was it the job that he'd always dreamt it would be?
Hollywood can be a cruel mistress sometimes and Rich tells a nerve-wrecking story of the first time the facade of Hollywood was lifted for him at his favorite TV game show. (Spoiler Alert: The incident took place backstage at Price in Bob Barker's dressing room.)
Fans will love Rich's stories about working with Bob Barker, Roger Dobkowitz, Johnny Olson, Drew Carey, and so many more! Rich also discusses how he was able to tap into his intuition and be given a roadmap to fulfilling his ultimate dream in life. Even after struggling through two separate cancer diagnoses, then finding himself homeless in Hollywood, Rich found a way to persevere and finally attain his ultimate dream in life.
Read about Rich's (on-stage) interaction with legendary announcer Johnny Olson after sneaking into CBS-Television City back in 1979. Read about the TPIR models and what goes on backstage during show rehearsals. Read about the day Bob walked into Rich's dressing room saying that he was retiring, along with the reasons why. And read about Rich's chance encounter with comedian Drew Carey in Las Vegas, years before hosting Price himself.
By the end of this book (which is loaded with Rich’s personal photos) you will not only get a fascinating look behind-the-scenes at The Price Is Right, you will also have a greater understanding of the power of your own intuition and how it can manifest your purpose on the planet.
