One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time
opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his
learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human
connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of
the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever
had.

Will Smith’s transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia
home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest
movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that
will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer
triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well. But it's only half the story. 

Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his
own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the
entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star
performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It
turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over. 

This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning
with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written
with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The
Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one person mastered
his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few
of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the
highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one
stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way
home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that
is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its
author, in a category by itself.
