The Selfie Culture

In the modern life, it is fashionable to name the latest trends and technologies with short and crisp words such as SciFi, HiFi and WiFi.

One Of The Most Dynamic And Globally Recognized Entertainment Forces Of Our Time Opens Up Fully About His Life

You don’t become a megastar like Will Smith without picking up a bit of wisdom—and some seriously amazing stories—along the way. Collaborating with self-help author Mark Manson, Smith chronicles his life and career and shares inspiring observations about the lessons he’s learned. (The quote “living is the journey from not knowing to knowing” really stuck with us.) Smith is just as charismatic as an audiobook narrator as he is on screen. Even when he’s discussing painful topics, like how much of his drive and ambition were shaped by his abusive, alcoholic dad, his raw honesty and charm shine through. We loved hearing about his meteoric rise as a rapper and actor—from touring with Public Enemy to negotiating a movie contract for tens of millions, every stop on his journey had us enthralled. ...
