‘Will’ by Will Smith

The Oscar-nominated actor’s memoir fetching rave reviews

With a body of work that includes iconic films like Men in Black, Independence Day and The Pursuit of Happyness, Will Smith is one of the most recognised faces of our times. But his road to fame was not an easy one. In his memoir, which has been published by Penguin Books, Smith opens up about his journey from his Philadelphia roots to star-studded Hollywood, and the lessons he picked up along the way. 

Going beyond his long list of accomplishments and accolades (that includes five Golden Globe and two Oscar nominations), Will sheds light on Smith the person, and his inner transformation. Candid, entertaining and engaging, the writing expertly weaves Smith’s experiences with his insights and brings to surface some of the personal and professional struggles that he had to endure. Will has been co-written with Mark Manson – author of the global bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck — and carries Manson’s trademark no-nonsense style. Peppered with tidbits of wisdom and advice, this memoir is just what you need to kick-start your year with a generous dose of inspiration.
