Summary
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。
“It’s easy to maneuver the material world once you have conquered your own mind。 I believe that。 Once you've learned the terrain of your own mind， every experience， every emotion， every circumstance， whether positive or negative， simply propels you forward， to greater growth and greater experience。 That is true will。 To move forward in spite of anything。 And to move forward in a way that brings others with you， rather than leave them behind。” —Will Smith

I have been working on a translation of this book for the past two months， so I really don't feel like I can give it a fair rating one way or another。 I will say it's an impressively written and constructed memoir， even if you're not too interested in Will Smith as a person。 He covers topics like the early years of hip-hop， DJ-ing and MC-ing， music production， TV， Hollywood movies and the inner workings thereof — Will Smith had his hand in all of those and his perspective on most things is uniqu I have been working on a translation of this book for the past two months， so I really don't feel like I can give it a fair rating one way or another。 I will say it's an impressively written and constructed memoir， even if you're not too interested in Will Smith as a person。 He covers topics like the early years of hip-hop， DJ-ing and MC-ing， music production， TV， Hollywood movies and the inner workings thereof — Will Smith had his hand in all of those and his perspective on most things is unique and often quite fascinating。 He also delves deep into psychology and psyche， philosophy， his childhood and upbringing in West Philadelphia， and his relationships with parents， family and friends， including many other famous ones。 Will Smith fans should definitely check it out， but even if you aren't one of them， the man lived a fascinating life and he tells his story well。 Plus， if you're at all interested in any of the topics I mentioned， you'll find heaps of cool insider information here。 I enjoyed working on this book very much， and can't wait to see it out in print soon！ 。。。more
