Pages : 16
Book Description
Ever wondered how Tyrese Gibson rose to stardom? Journeys are never easy. Some journeys have many hurdles, several adventures, a few mishaps and if you’re lucky – a little success. The journey of Tyrese Darnell Gibson has all of that and more. Many American superstars had humble beginnings. Many grew up in dangerous neighborhoods and had parents who were just short of Ward and June Cleaver. Most of those celebrities somehow received a big break along the line and became superstars. Many share the typical American-celebrity rags-to-riches story. Gibson is no different in that he, too, grew up in a crime-riddled neighborhood, was raised by a single mother battling alcoholism and lived in a tiny house with many other siblings in a small area of Los Angeles, California. However, not all stars can say they produced multiple award-winning albums, were the host of several TV shows, starred in dozens of feature films, wrote two books and released the first-ever digital comic book series.

Will
Author: Will Smith
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1984877933
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
The instant #1 New York Times bestseller! “It's the best memoir I've ever read.” —Oprah Winfrey “Will Smith isn't holding back in his bravely inspiring new memoir . . . An ultimately heartwarming read, Will provides a humane glimpse of the man behind the actor, producer and musician, as he bares all his insecurities and trauma.” —USA Today One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had. Will Smith’s transformation from a West Philadelphia kid to one of the biggest rap stars of his era, and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, is an epic tale—but it’s only half the story. Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over. This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one person mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.

Book Description
Ever wondered how Liam Hemsworth and Chris Hemsworth rose to stardom? In Hollywood, the name Hemsworth has a ring of royalty to it. Over the past five years or so, most Americans have familiarized themselves with the three handsome Hemsworth brothers. Middle child Chris is well known for his portrayal of the superhero Thor in a multitude of Marvel mega-films and was crowned GQ’s Man of the Year in 2016.

Truth Doesn't Have a Side
Author: Bennet Omalu
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 0310352541
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
One day in 2002 the fifty-year old body of former Pittsburgh Steeler and hall of famer Mike Webster was laid on a cold table in front of pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu. Webster’s body looked to Omalu like the body of a much older man, and the circumstances of his behavior prior to his death were clouded in mystery. But when Omalu cut into Webster’s brain, it appeared to be normal. Something didn’t add up. It was at this moment, Omalu studying slides of Webster’s brain tissue under a microscope, that the world of contact sports would never be the same: the discovery of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. CTE can result in an array of devastating consequences including deterioration in attention, memory loss, social instability, depression, and even suicide. And Omalu’s discovery of CTE in the brain of an American football player has become the catalyst of a blazing controversy across all contact sports. At the center of that controversy stands the unlikely Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian-born American citizen, a mild-mannered, gentle man of faith. It is fascinating that it would take someone on the outside of American culture to make this amazing discovery, and refuse to let it be kept hidden. Dr. Omalu began his life in strife, growing up in war-torn Nigeria. But his medical studies in forensic pathology proved to be a lifeline. It fed his natural curiosity and awakened within a deeper desire to always search for the truth. Who would have thought that such an unexpected character would play such a role in bringing to life this world-changing data? In Truth Doesn’t Have a Side, discover the truth about CTE: Its causes and symptoms, how we might keep our children safe and guide professional athletes when CTE sets in. The problem of CTE is coming to light with each new story about an athlete’s concussion problem, and we are likely facing dramatic changes to professional sports. You’ll be inspired by Dr. Bennet Omalu a man driven by his love and concern for the welfare of all people, and his professional vow to speak the truth.
