“There isn’t a man more qualified to prove that vulnerability is
strength than Terry Crews. In this raw, revealing memoir, he
chronicles his journey through abuse, anger, insecurity, and
misogyny—and shows how he found a better path. If his words don’t
move you to tears, you might be a robot.”
—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
and host of the TED podcast WorkLife
“From the fields of Flint, Michigan, to the packed arenas of the
NFL and Hollywood, Terry Crews’s life is a testament to the power
of physical and mental toughness. But there’s a deeper journey at
work here that goes beyond one man’s story of overcoming painful
challenges and long odds. The roots of Terry’s resiliency run deep
and connect him to a history he carries inside.”
—Henry Louis Gates Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and
Director of the Hutchins Center for African & African American
Research, Harvard University
“Terry is an extraordinary storyteller. This memoir is powerful,
profoundly human, and a behind-the-scenes look at an incredible
life.”
—Amanda Nguyen, civil rights activist and Time Woman of the Year
2022
“Terry has battled his way to the top, with heart and at times,
with rage . . . but through it all, the man he has become is truly
extraordinary. America watch out. Here is your president in
waiting.”
—Bear Grylls, global adventurer, TV presenter, and bestselling
author of Never Give Up
“I haven’t stopped thinking about his book since I read it. I think
it was so brave of [Terry] to share his story. It can’t have been
easy to be so honest about some of his hardest moments, but I think
it will help a lot of people—especially men.”
—Gayle King in Oprah Daily
