Stepping into your authentic life can be difficult. There
are pitfalls of ego, of convenience, of modern society’s
pressure to put yourself out there before you’ve even
figured out what you really want. It’s easy to lose yourself
along the way, conforming to those around you, obsessing
over trivialities, letting fear drive your actions. Fortunately, though, you’re not the first one to walk this
path . . . On these gorgeously illustrated pages, you’ll 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 Smiley’s own sagacious
grandmother “Big Mama”—not to mention the lumps he’s
received through the years—Smiley 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 you’re just setting out on your own or
whether you need a course correction to keep marching toward
your dreams.
