"You know Will Packer's movies. From Straight Outta Compton to Girls Trip, they've grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, including ten films that opened at number one. And, in the vein of Shonda Rhimes, he did it all by featuring real life stories about Black culture-something that Hollywood had long overlooked. With Who Better Than You?, Packer reflects on the values that carried him on his journey: the hustle that fueled him when he was trying to sell a micro-budget indie film in college and the passion and collaboration that led to some of his most successful projects. He has created a guidebook filled with indispensable advice on business, leadership, and legacy. Whether you're aiming for the writer's room or the boardroom, you will find encouragement, energy, and empowerment in his stories and lessons"-- - Random House, Inc.

Whether youâre just starting out or ready to make a major move, Who Better Than You? is a wildly entertaining roadmap to being successful in an unpredictable world, featuring behind-the-scenes Hollywood lessons, empowering guidance, and indispensable encouragement.
From Stomp the Yard to Ride Along to Girls Trip and many more, Will Packerâs films have collectively grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, with ten opening at number one! To outsiders, the unabashed confidence that has driven him since his college daysâwhen he was trying to sell a micro-budget indie filmâmay look like arrogance. To Packer, thatâs just what it took to make it on his own terms.
With Who Better Than You?, Packer has created the success toolkit he wished heâd had back then, filled with illuminating and laugh-out-loud stories as well as practical advice, such as:
1. Be arrogant! The highest-achieving people have âhealthy arroganceâ: Superior confidence not only in themselves and their abilities but also in their predestined success. You too can unlock this level of confidence.
2. Convince people your goals are essential and vital. It is crucial to assure others that your success benefits both you and them.
3. Itâs the work you put in when nobodyâs watching that makes everyone pay attention later. No single person on the planet is more deserving of achieving their wildest dreams than you. But it will never happen until you act accordingly in every aspect of your life.
Itâs time for you to start producing your own blockbuster lifeâby first believing there is no one more worthy of it than you.
