DevilsJim89 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I really hope he finally talks about record labels and inside the music, making of the album, stories from going on tour, stories from the studio...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it will be some inspirational type of book. If you go to willsmith.com you can sign up to get an alert when the book is released.

JumpinJack AJ Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I must say, I'm really excited about this. I hope he records the audio book, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan 4ever Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Working with Hollywood actor Will Smith on his self-help/memoir book In 2018, Hollywood actor Will Smith took to social media to announce he began working on his first book, a self-help/memoir. To help him write his book, Will reached out to Mark Manson, the bestselling author of two self-help books for people who hate self-help books. The duo’s book is expected to be released in 2021. source: https://brand-minds.medium.com/mark-manson-bestselling-author-and-entrepreneur-is-coming-to-brand-minds-2020-fcdae5693bc8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel you on that one. I have a hard time listening to some songs where he mentions Jada or his relationship. Still, I hope the book will be about his life, music and movies and not just some inspirational bull****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Will does all of this side crap that I just don't care about. I'm a big fan of his music but that's done with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 You guys sound hella judgmental. lol Certainly I have my own opinions on things, but we really don't know exactly how it all went down. If anything, it's stuff like that that makes me even more interested in what he has to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I wouldn't mind if Will does an inspirational book, I'd prefer if he stuck with talking about his entertainment career but he has one of the wisest minds, sure some of his social media stuff is a bit outlandlish sometimes but who's perfect? His whole career is in the spotlight, none of us are perfect, I'm sure if we all here had that much fame people would criticize us too.... I know if I look back at some posts I made on here 10 years ago at this date I might find it hypocritical too...Btw for all those talking ish about his marriage with Jada how many hip hop artists in the entertainment been married for almost 25 years in the industry? Most entertainers been married like 3 times in that span at the minimum...People rave about how big of a power couple that Jay-Z and Beyonce are but they weren't even married half of that time and they've had their drama too....

Ale Posted April 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 This was a deep conversation. I bet most of the things Will says in this interview will be included in his book (if it's ever released). Enjoy it. It's a long one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan 4ever Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) https://willthebook.com Coming November 9 2021 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 Edited June 19, 2021 by fan 4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I pre-ordered the hardcover book and the audio book on CD from Amazon. I'm looking forward to this. I always get a craving for Willennium and Big Willie Style in November, so this will hit at just the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted June 26, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Wills lived a great life so it should be interesting. I’m not sure how honest he is going to be in the book though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
