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 West Philadelphia kid to one of the biggest rap stars of his era, and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, is an epic tale--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.

*This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of music credits.

Review

"Many people can live a really fantastic life. Many people can write a great book. There are few people I think who can translate a fantastic life into a fantastic book. . . . It's raw. . . . one of the most anticipated yet unexpected memoirs that has ever come out." --Trevor Noah, The Daily Show

"The guy you think you know is just a fantasy. . . . With a new book . . . [Will Smith] is finally ready to introduce himself. . . . It is a 400-page page turner." --T.J. Holmes, Good Morning America

"It shows every high, every low, and the sheer will it took you to become who you are. . . . I love the book. It's fantastic." --Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

"This book doesn't waste any time. . . . Like a lot of families, mine included, we talk about nothing. You took the carpet, you shook it, you beat it with a broom, you let it all out. . . . The book is so good." --Hoda Kotb, TODAY with Hoda and Jenna

"Will is not just a gift for the reader but an absolutely entertaining treat as well. . . . It's filled with laugh out loud, nostalgic references alongside poignant, powerful, relatable life and career lessons. . . . While we often think of leaders as successful, powerful . . . and oftentimes rich, Smith reminds us that the best leaders are really vulnerable, relatable and teachable." --Forbes

"Will Smith isn't holding back in his bravely inspiring new memoir . . . An ultimately heartwarming read, Will provides a humane glimpse of the man behind the actor, producer and musician, as he bares all his insecurities and trauma." --USA Today

"The real Smith, the one that yells, cries, experiences heartbreak, is much more interesting. Early on, his act gives way to images of unhealthy relationship patterns marked by people pleasing and insecurity. Elsewhere, Will rewards music fans with memories of hip-hop's early days, when getting a song played on the radio was a crowning achievement and selling rap albums was almost inconceivable." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

This is worth reading

There was one thing I did not want to read in this book, but it became inevitable - The End.
I have not been so captured by a book for years and, as I am not keen on biographical novels I rarely pick them up.
I like Will, always have and to get to know him more was fascinating because what you get is not what the man is about, that is his persona, not the real man. But the real man is still evolving and so what we get today may not hold true by tomorrow.
Mark Manson and Will Smith have written a wonderful book. It is so readable, it flows. There is so much more to Will than we would ever guess unless we read this, because, for all his loud noise and on going successful films, he is a very private man - although I bet he wouldn't agree with me.
I bought this book thinking it would last out my 'on-my-own-Christmas' but it didn't. It's now Boxing day and there is no Will any more.
However that's okay, I am surrounded by thoughts of his father and mother, his siblings and his grandmother, his children and his wives, every one of them alive and powerful characters, who crowd the pages along with all the show folk he works with, his friends and also people like Mandela, and Muhammad ali.
Success and failure and more success were great learning curves, as was love and becoming a father.
Above all the book has depth to it. As Will begins his journey we are allowed to tag along as he begins to peel back the restrictions in his own life and discover the real Will under it all. There is awareness there of things more profound than just surface living, there is truth, recognition and comprehension of life and what it's all about there, and for that alone it is worth the journey.
It does, of course, come to an end and I have one last question I have to ask, did Will survive his helicopter bungee jump? No one has ever said :)

Loved it - one of the best memoirs I’ve read.

Reviewed in Australia on 8 December 2021

Will
Authored by Will Smith and Mark Manson.

The simplest way I can describe this book is inspiring. We all know Will Smith, whether it be through Fresh Prince, Men in Black or the plethora of work that he has done through the years. Will is a global force, well recognised and most people would say ‘a funny man’. Who is the man behind that mask? Reading this book makes you understand that it is just that…. A mask. But why? A man who seemingly has everything? Why pretend to be someone you’re not?

Reading this book answered every question & then some. Without giving (or trying to give) too much away, Will was a fearful child. There were tense moments at home which compounded his fearfulness. He was a child that liked to give, liked to make sure everyone was happy. There was a need to be approved, for people to like him. If they liked him, then he must be ok…..right? Even as a young child, he was grafting a persona, one that he hoped everyone would love. Love the persona he created…..love him. Right?

This memoir is transformative and triumphant, in that Will Smith felt life was perfect. Rapper, film star, family man, success, top of his game. So what changed him? A comment from a member of his family made him see that his family felt like performers in the “Will Smith show” and not the family they should be.

Will delicately details his journey. It’s a profound journey and one that clearly demonstrates you can have it all, but still feel like you have nothing. It’s a discovery for Will and one that he has written beautifully. There are some memoir writers that will tell you how wonderful life is and how great they are. That’s not Will. Will is as straight as they come. He will tell you the times he got mixed up with the wrong sort. He will tell you how he mastered his feelings. He will tell you how he realised what was important to him and why.

The book is a crazy life story of a kid from West Philadelphia who come good. It’s the story of a child whose mum wanted him to go to college but he wanted more. It’s the story of a born performer who steps out on the world stage to give the world what they want. It’s the story of a man who wants to be one better than the one before – if the top actor earns $10m, Will wants $11m. The book shows you how Ill is always striving to reach heights.

What this book also shows, is that the energy you put into your performing life, must also be given into family. Wills honesty in his words show you clearly when he messes up. What’s refreshing to see in a memoir, is someone saying “I wish I could this back”. Will has learned through life. He’s learned what really matters. It’s beautiful to read his words on working with his children. How much he enjoyed the quality time he had. I particularly loved reading how he promotes creativity: art supplies everywhere, music studio, areas to record his wife Jada`s show Red Table Talk.

Will Smith once said: “Once you've learned how your mind works, the layout, all experiences, emotions, every circumstance, whether positive or negative, will propel you forward, to greater growth and greater experience. "

This book clearly shows his growth, his mistakes, his remedies, his successes and his loves. Mr Smith has learned how his mind works and is a better man for his life lessons.

I'm only a couple of chapters into it, and I've already laughed, winced, wiped a tear away and laughed again. This is a powerful telling of a story I'd only every seen veil of. The Fresh Prince, alien fighting, happyness [sic] pursuing, man in black exposes himself in what is proving to be a special and intimate way. I'm looking forward to the rest of the book.

Listened to the entire 16 hour audiobook across one side of Australia to another. It releases on this alchemistic day. Just like the alchemist is Will’s favourite book. This is now mine. It’s a journey of your own Breakthroughs. Through twists and tales of his own.

Honesty but……

Reviewed in Canada on 16 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I liked the book, however now I don’t like Will. I appreciate that he was so honest in the book, and he has taken an emotional journey; I just don’t care for where he landed. When for the first time he turns down an autograph for a Downs syndrome kid……that was it for me. If Will hasn’t figured out how to pick your spots, pick your moments & act graciously (not all or nothing like the autograph scenario) - then his journey failed him. I also don’t care for his arrogance. Yes he couches it with “I’m not being arrogant, it’s real fact” kind of thing, but that jus makes it sound worse. There are ways to validate, protect and realize yourself, with grace and not at the expense of others. Right after I finished the book I saw on ET that he did some scary stunt in public and I thought - “there he goes again, vying for attention”. I find it childish, sorry. I thought he was a better person. I guess his journey to becoming a great person —— will continue…..and then he performed another “attention getting” incident at the Oscars when he slapped Chris Rock. What a childish person that craves attention like a small child, he really needs to grow up.

A New Understanding of Will - And Maybe Yourself

Reviewed in the United States on 9 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I am a big fan of biographical works and of both Mark Manson and Will Smith; and yet, this book leaves me feeling bittersweet. Will Smith has spent decades in our most beloved cultural works: Fresh Prince, Hitch, I Am Legend, Bad Boys, and Big Willie style to name a few. In many ways the thing we loved most about him wasn't his incredible catalog of work, but the "effortless" charisma that allowed him to take over the world. This book cuts directly against that image.

This book amounts to look behind the curtain of what made this icon who he is, warts and all. While it is incredibly insightful and well written - those of us who liked having him up on a pedestal for being superhuman will realize that he is imperfect like us all.

What you get in this book is life experiences from Will wrapped around singular ideas like "fear", "Power" and "Hope" and he uses those themes and stories to teach us lessons about life. This book left me with a new understanding of Will and myself - in my opinion, that's all a great biographical works should do.

Great book …but changes your thoughts on Will

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2022

Verified Purchase

Just finishing reading this book….which is extremely well written and flows well. I’d highly recommend everyone to buy it, as it provides a real insight into Will…it’s honest, even though you may wish you hadn’t read it if you’re a real fan….

The positives ? As I said well written, honest, frank and provides a deep understanding of Wills journey and what makes him tick….

The negatives ? The first 30/40% of the book is Will finding his way and you warm to the person, as you have to the person on screen…. However, once Will gets real success starting from the Fresh Prince period…he becomes narcissistic, up himself, completely self centred, obsessed about fame and his personal fortune, unlikeable, rude and deluded. If I had a £1 for every time he mentions that he’s the undisputed greatest actor in the world….I’d be wealthy too…. He’s not in the least humble, gracious or grounded. The way he describes his period with Muhammad Ali and Nelson Mandela….suggests he very much sees himself as being in the same category…. His description of deliberately interrupting a private conversation involving Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis to ask them “what he needs to do to ensure that he’s the greatest actor in the world” beggars belief….

As I said earlier, I’d very much recommend reading the book…even if it proves not to be what you thought it would be….

I've given 5 stars and if I could give more, I would! I love Will; his music, his sheer brilliance as a movie star and his lovely presence wherever he goes. His book gives a fantastic insight of him being ...him. I couldn't put his book down for more than 5 minutes before picking it up again. Swiss Cottage time; I was there during my college days but sadly missed seeing him. His book is a great read which brought me into his life (virtually) and what a lovely feeling that is.

Shameless Bragging Taken to a New Level

Reviewed in the United States on 23 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I've always been a fan of Will Smith's work, and I just assumed that he must be the decent guy he usually portrays. There's certainly no denying his impressive achievements in reaching the pinnacle of music, television, and film, a feat few have duplicated. The first part of this book was gripping, and the author comes across as honest and humble. The remainder of the book quickly degenerates into what can only be described as a monumental bragathon. We are repeatedly bludgeoned with tedious descriptions of how he is the most successful actor in the world and the greatest movie star of all time. Even if there is some truth to these assertions, I found them distasteful and even a little embarrassing. And as for the drivel about his ayahuasca trips, well.. words fail me. If you are already convinced that Will Smith is on the same level as Muhammad Ali and Nelson Mandela, you will love this book. If not, you may get a case of indigestion. Boo.
