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.

Critic reviews

“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

“Will Packer is a very talented film and TV producer. When people ask me what I think of him as a new author, I think: He’s a very talented film and TV producer.”—Kerry Washington

“I did not authorize Will Packer to use my name in this book. And he did it anyway. That tells you all you need to know about Will Packer.”—Idris Elba

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

“Will Packer is a great producer of comedies. He didn’t teach me about comedy, though. That was someone else. Wait, is this book supposed to be funny?”—Issa Rae

Fun Creative Insightful

I love this audio book. It was funny yet insightful. I am familiar and practice many of Will's points; however it's always great to hearing from others experiences. The characters real voices brought his stories to life. Fun listen.

The storytelling

I listen to a lot of audio books and this is the first time I have been moved to leave a review. The book is funny and has so many nuggets of wisdom and inspiration. The storytelling is top tier!
