Who Better Than You?

The Art of Healthy Arrogance & Dreaming Big

De: Will Packer

Narrado por: Will Packer, Regina Hall, Kevin Hart, Carmelo Anthony, Heather Packer, Shayla Cowan, Steve Harvey, Idris Elba, Ronn Lipkin

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The billion-dollar Hollywood producer provides a master mentorship by sharing secrets to success honed from working with the biggest stars in the world. As Kevin Hart says of working with Will Packer: “I became a student and learned from the way he was moving. The man helped me grow and gave me the knowledge.”

Whether you’re 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 Packer’s 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 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, filled with illuminating and laugh-out-loud stories as well as practical advice, such as:

1. Be arrogant! The highest-achieving people have “healthy arrogance”: 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. It’s the work you put in when nobody’s 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.

It’s time for you to start producing your own blockbuster life—by first believing there is no one more worthy of it than you.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

“Packer is a brilliant storyteller and movie producer. Buy one of my books first. Then buy his book. It’s good!”—Steve Harvey

WHO BETTER THAN YOU IS FANTASTIC!

Not your regular audiobook! Great story and a great listen with enthusiasm and sounds effects!

A must-read for anyone seeking inspiration to stay chasing their film industry career!

Who knew a film producer could be so funny? Will Packer's decision to narrate his own book was a smart one. You could tell he and his acting buddies featured had fun making the audiobook version. I highly recommend it in this format because it's a full on play type of experience that enhances the life lessons that Will experienced and learned as he built his career.

This book was recommended by The Breakfast Club radio show crew who interviewed Will Packer as he did promo for his book. I'm so glad that I invested a credit to read it that very same day after I listened to his interview. Thank you, Breakfast Club and thank you, Will Packer for sharing your journey and inspiring me to keep chasing my own career in the film industry.

As a victim of the Warner Bros Discovery mass layoffs that started in April 2023, I especially needed this inspirational book.

This nonfiction book is now on my favorites shelf. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏🏽 🫶🏽

Arrogance Mixed with Exceptional Entertainment

Will Packer arrogantly entertained me with meaningful storytelling elements throughout this book. The overall production is filled with amazing sound effects and the guest narrators added more layers of fun to this audio book. Some of the stories seemed to lean toward hyperbole but it was so entertaining, I didn't really care whether or not he used some exaggeration to curate the stories. If you need to laugh, pick this book.

Clever

Having fun while learning! Simply amazing and now when I watch his movie I will watch with even more appreciation.

JUST OUTSTANDING! You’ve GOTTA Listen!

This has to be one of the BEST productions of an audio book I’ve ever heard. I’ve laughed out loud, nodded my head in agreement, and have appreciated the wisdom shared on living with intention, purpose and RELENTLESS pursuit of the dream. As a Memphian, I loved my hometown colloquialisms and all the other cultural references combined. Heather is definitely the TRUTH. The actors’ performances plus Will’s have a performance and authenticity like no other. Well done Will Packer! Well done.

A Must Listen!

This audio book for "Who Better Than You" had me smiling, laughing out loud, thinking, inspired and taking notes from beginning to end. The author's storytelling ability and charisma is undeniable, so are the tangible lessons learned & shared each chapter. With the added sound design and surprise voice cameos sprinkled throughout, it truly made this listen even more joyful. There is something for everyone in this book and it applies to every age, industry and stage in life. There is no way to listen without taking something powerful & positive away from the experience. As an avid audio book queen, I whole-heartedly recommend this one. You won't be disappointed.

On Point

This is an audiobook for people who don't like audiobooks. It's different, because it's meant to be different and it works! It took a minute to get into the flow compared to other books but once you get used to it, it makes sense! The storytelling and insights are so interesting and captivating, truly a joy to consume! The one thing I could've 100% gone without is the second narrator that pops up, I don't feel like she contributed anything of value and Packer did a good job conveying his authenticity on his own. But I get it, it's a different kind of audiobook and this is part of that.

Narratives, storytelling, delivery of stories. Comedy
