Learn moreGet a master mentorship from the billion-dollar Hollywood producer many already look to for guidance, empowerment, and encouragement. 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? offers invaluable advice on success, leadership, and leaving a legacy.
You know Will Packer’s movies. From Stomp the Yard to Ride Along to Girls Trip, his 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 indispensable guidance, such as:
1. Be arrogant! The highest-achieving people have “healthy arrogance”: confidence not only in themselves and their abilities but also in their right to be successful. Start believing your goals are predestined to be achieved.
2. Treat your goals as essential and vital—not just for you but for everyone around you. When you take your ambitions seriously, others will too.
3. It’s the work you put in when nobody’s watching that makes everyone pay attention later. There is not a single person on earth more deserving of achieving their wildest dreams than you. But it will never happen until you start to act accordingly.
It’s time for you to start producing your own blockbuster life—by first believing there is no one more deserving of it than you.

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
