Will Smith and I are approximately the same age, which made the book even more relatable. I found it amusing that the great advice he got from Arnold Schwarzenegger (whose memoir I also enjoyed tremendously), got him to focus his efforts to become a worldwide sensation, instead of just a Philly boy who made it big. Smith’s childhood in Philadelphia, early successes, and, of course, becoming a worldwide superstar. Will by Will Smith and Mark Hanson starts with Mr. Will Smith’s natural charisma, a trait he’s certainly known for, drips out of the pages. It is entertaining, funny, introspective, extremely personal, open, as well as one hell of a ride. I enjoyed this memoir way more than I thought I would. Mark Hanson is a New York Times bestselling author and a widely (and wildly) published writer.
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.Will by Will Smith and Mark Hanson is a memoir of the famous actor, musician, producer, family man, and all-around nice guy. 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.įew 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.
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. It turned out Will Smith’s education wasn’t nearly over. 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. 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. Will Smith’s transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest pop 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. 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.Īlong 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.
