According to the press release announcing the book deal in October 2018, the book ‘WILL’, is all about an “inspirational tale of how [Will Smith’s] true self-knowledge helped to propel him to extraordinary success, and then evolve further to a place of deeper peace – with himself, his loved ones, and the world.”
According to the People Magazine, the book will follow the experiences of Will Smith’s life from his childhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the top-notch roles he played in the big hit movies of his career such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Ali (2001) and Hitch (2005).
