About this listen

Charlamagne Tha God - the self-proclaimed "Prince of Pissing People Off", cohost of Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, and "hip-hop's Howard Stern" - shares his unlikely success story as well as how embracing one's truths is a fundamental key to success and happiness.

In his new book, Charlamagne Tha God presents his comic, often controversial, and always brutally honest insights on how living an authentic life is the quickest path to success. Beginning with his journey from the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, to his headline grabbing interviews with celebrities like Justin Bieber, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, and Hillary Clinton, he shares how he turned his troubled early life around by owning his (many) mistakes and refusing to give up on his dreams, even after his controversial opinions got him fired from several on-air jobs. Combining his own story with bold advice and his signature commitment to honesty at all costs, Charlamagne hopes this book will give others the confidence to live their own truths.

Very insightful!!

I enjoyed the book. It was so good that I even took notes. The little stories provided to drive a theme home were great. I learned so much about Charlemagne that I didn't know before. I admit I am a little biased due to being a fan of his work on the Breakfast Club and Brilliant Idiots but as a fan I can say he practices what he preaches in this book. I connected a lot with certain things like the toy he believed was alive. I had a similar experience with that as well. The only negative thing I would say would be sometimes if felt like we got off track when telling the stories with the name dropping and different asides. It was cool via audiobook because it felt more like a convo but not sure how it would be in actual print!! Great start to your writing career!! Will keep a look out from much more!!

Another Success Story. Valuable insight. Hilarious

As someone who faced even greater challenges growing up, I can bear witness this man is speaking the truth about overcoming obstacles towards known goals. When there is little or no support on the outside, you will go deep inside yourself and find things there you might not have otherwise known. Skills talents and identities. Gifts and tools. The author is an asset to mankind and the higher powers. Perhaps they channel through him. That said, he says he reads and pushes himself out of comfort zones. I hope he reads some books on the civil war. Less than 1% of the population in this country were slave owners. Yet more than 5% of my ancestors were wiped out during the civil war, fighting against slavery. Although that doesn't fit into anyone's narrative these days. It is still a good thing to know. That said, he is witty, very bright, flippant about forces against him, and has the gift of piercing through illusions and false perceptions. His stories offer sound advice that works. He really does have a musical voice, he just travels without the musicians and crowds. The Red Carpet will always roll out for him.

REALEST book I have read in a while.

I am partial to the writer because I tend to be blunt and abrasive like he is. However, as a man I learned alot from this book and welcomed reality. Charlemagne has basically challenged every man to be a better REALER man and I appreciate that. Fellas, we have to do better and this book is a jewel in having us accomplish this!

Easily the best book I've read this year!

Charlemagne is brutally honest and challenges you to never give up! Each of us has something special within us and we need to boldly live OUR own dreams. Although I do not identify with his childhood ( as no two people lead exactly the same life), there was much to be learned from his experiences and overall life journey. I was pleasantly surprised... and dare I say this, but I will probably re-read it and take notes!
