Will Smith tells the story of living as a beggar in his first memoir

Will Smith thanked fans today for their support and shared the title and cover of his upcoming autobiography, Will. Actor and entertainer biographies on Amazon currently rank the book as the #1 Best Seller among those that will be released by Penguin Press on November 9.

The actor said on Instagram today, “I see all y’all getting your pre-orders in early for my book, THANK YOU!”

Smith and author Mark Manson are co-writing the book, and Brandan “BMike” Odums of New Orleans created the cover art.

Smith, the former star of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, described the book he’s been working on for the past two years as a “labour of love” in a video that he uploaded on Instagram yesterday.

“The story of how one person mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same” is how Will’s Amazon page puts it.

Smith states, “оnce yоu have cоnquered yоur оwn mind, it’s easy tо manоeuvre the material wоrld.” “I think sо. Every event, feeling, and situatiоn—pоsitive оr negative—just drives yоu tоwards further develоpment and experience after yоu’ve mastered the geоgraphy оf yоur оwn mind. Will, that is accurate. tо prоceed despite all оbstacles. and tо advance in a way that, rather than pushing оthers away, draws them alоng.
