BOOK ABOUT THE

“I thought I knew Mort Meisner, former boss, and long-

Wow, what an eye-opener!

Mort bares all in a gripping tale of child abuse, sex, 
drugs, booze and rock and roll. Plus, amazing inside 
stories about the underbelly of TV news.
”

“I have known Mort Meisner for 35 years. He is one of 
the most positive individuals who possesses a broader 
picture of the world and of the common man. Mort’s 
story will grab your heart and touch your soul. You will 
love every page.
”

“Enough To Be Dangerous takes us on quite a ride! 

Mort gives us a peek behind the curtains of the music 
business, the news business, and into the heart of a 
man who could have been defeated by a tragic up-
bringing but instead stuck to his passion and created 
quite a life! 

Mort gives back, mentoring so many himself and being 
a true force of positive change for black journalists.
” 

“A GREAT READ!”

“I could not put it down. So compelling–honest–and 
helpful. A book that had to be written–because anyone 
who witnessed what you will read here certainly 
needed to write a book about it.

A compelling story of struggles, determination, 
compassion-and love. And to be clear–as he does in 
life–Mort tells it like it is! No excuses!

A heartfelt look at one’s life from within that may just 
leave you asking...what have I accomplished... what 
I have I done to learn from experiences and work to 
make this a better place?”
