One of the most dynamic and recognizable forces in entertainment shares his life story in a brave and inspiring book that brings together success, inner happiness and human connection. Will tells the story of one of the most extraordinary careers in music and film. An insecure kid raised in uptight West Philadelphia, Will Smith became first one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest Hollywood stars of all time, with a string of box office hits that will likely never be interrupted. It's an epic story of inner transformation and outer triumph - one that Will tells remarkably well. And yet, that's only half the story. Will Smith thought, and rightly so, that he had won the lottery of life: it was not only that his own success was unparalleled, but that his entire family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. But they didn't see it that way; they felt like the stars of Will's circus, a job that occupied them seven days a week and that, moreover, they had not asked for. Will Smith's education had only just begun. This memoir is the product of a journey of deep introspection that confronts us not only with how much we can achieve through sheer willpower, but also how much we can leave behind because of it. Written with the help of Mark Manson, the author of the bestselling The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, which has sold millions of copies worldwide, Will is the story of one person who has managed to take control of his emotions, and it is written so that everyone who reads it can do the same. Few of us will ever experience the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages with so much at stake, but we can all understand that we may well have to change what has driven us to complete a stage in life if we are to reach the finish line. The combination of genuine, universally valuable wisdom and a life story that is so entertaining, if not astonishing, that it is almost unbelievable, puts Will in a league of his own, as does his author.
