About the Book
Trailblazing filmmaker and powerhouse CEO Will Packer presents powerful and illuminating stories from the front lines of Hollywood to offer a clear vision on how to manifest your own success—by believing there is no one more deserving of it than you.
“All of Will Packer’s stories about me in this book are false. Well, they may be true, but they aren’t funny. Actually, they are pretty funny, but I don’t have to like them.”—Kevin Hart
You know Will Packer’s movies. From Stomp the Yard to Ride Along to Girls Trip, his films have collectively grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, with ten of them opening at number one. To outsiders, the unabashed confidence that has driven him since his college days—when he was trying to sell a micro-budget indie film—may look like arrogance. To Packer, that’s just what it took to make it on his own terms.
With Who Better Than You?, Packer has created the success toolkit he wished he’d had back then—perfect for anyone who’s just starting out or ready to make a major transition. This guidebook, rich with reflections on the values that have propelled Packer through his most successful projects, is filled with indispensable advice on business, leadership, and legacy, such as:
1. Be arrogant! The highest-achieving people have “healthy arrogance”: confidence not only in themselves and their abilities but also in their right to be successful. Start believing your goals are predestined to be achieved.
2. Treat your goals as essential and vital—not just for you but for everyone around you. When you take your ambitions seriously, others will too.
3. It’s the work you put in when nobody’s watching that makes everyone pay attention later. There is not a single person on earth more deserving of achieving their wildest dreams than you. But it will never happen until you start to act accordingly.
It’s time for you to start producing your own blockbuster life!
