Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781529124163 Publisher: Century Age Range: Adult Overview: Will is the instant #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling memoir from Hollywood icon Will Smith, co-written with Mark Manson. This candid, funny and often startling autobiography traces Smith's path from a fearful boy in West Philadelphia to global rap and film stardom, and the reckoning that followed. Brand new in paperback, it's a natural pick for fans of celebrity memoirs, music and film history, and anyone who loves a story of ambition, reinvention and hard-won self-knowledge. About the Book: Will chronicles the extraordinary arc of Will Smith's life: a nervous child growing up amid tension in West Philadelphia, a meteoric rise as one of the biggest rap stars of his generation, and an ascent to becoming one of Hollywood's most bankable movie stars. Smith doesn't just recount the highlight reel — he pulls back the curtain on the fear, insecurity and relentless will that drove him, and on what it cost the people closest to him. Written with Mark Manson, bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, the book pairs Smith's natural storytelling energy with Manson's gift for turning hard experience into clear, applicable insight. The narrative moves from stage triumphs to studio backlots, from chart-topping albums to box-office records, all while tracking a parallel, more private journey — the slow, sometimes painful process of learning that outward success doesn't automatically deliver inner peace or a happy family. Smith is unflinching about difficult choices, strained relationships and moments he isn't proud of, presenting them with humour, honesty and accountability rather than spin. The result is a memoir that entertains as much as it reflects: a wild, kinetic ride through music, film and fame, threaded with genuinely useful lessons about emotional mastery, resilience and what it really means to feel like you've "won." Readers looking for celebrity gossip will find plenty of eye-opening detail, but they'll also come away with something more lasting — a thoughtful meditation on aligning outer achievement with inner happiness.
