NARRATED BY WILL SMITH.

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 exceptional man 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.

    This book resonated so well with me. I totally loved the transparency of Will as well as the production of it. Took me back and opened a lot of unresolved challenges I am faced with. It also reminded me that we are all human in the same way and all with similar challenges and thoughts. Totally recommend it.

    The first twelve hours was great. The detailed time line through the early hip hop days was awesome and inspired me to bust out my old “Parents just don’t understand “ 12” single. As soft as it is. I even tolerated the countless mentions of him being the best hip hop outfit in the world but if I heard him refer to himself one more time as “The biggest Movie Star on the Planet” I was going to cry. The sheer narcissism in the last few hours was such a shame. The message was clear hours earlier. Will, you didn’t have to bash the listener unresponsive with your self empowered superiority. I would have given it five stars if it finished a few hours earlier.
