Stepping into your authentic life can be difficult. There are pitfalls of ego, of convenience, of modern societyโs pressure to put yourself out there before youโve even figured out what you really want. Itโs easy to lose yourself along the way, conforming to those around you, obsessing over trivialities, letting fear drive your actions. Fortunately, though, youโre not the first one to walk this path . . . On these gorgeously illustrated pages, youโll find the hard-won wisdom of media mogul and social entrepreneur Tavis Smiley, who rose from humble roots in a cramped Indiana trailer to become a critically acclaimed host of television and radio, as well as an impactful philanthropist. Through his relationships with cultural luminaries such as Maya Angelou and Quincy Jones, and personal mentors such as Rosa Parks, Peter Jennings, and Smileyโs own sagacious grandmother โBig Mamaโโnot to mention the lumps heโs received through the yearsโSmiley has learned what it takes to live your best life. Here, he offers both a guidebook and a toolkit to help you get on track, whether youโre just setting out on your own or whether you need a course correction to keep marching toward your dreams.
