At the start of this touching audiobook, Curtis Jackson, known as the rapper 50 Cent, says that while he’s never been shy talking about his success, he’s screwed up many things and is reluctant to call himself an expert on life. Yet his achievements in the entertainment world and his harrowing life as a drug dealer before that taught him lessons on managing himself and his relationships that sound authentic and powerful. Narrating his down-to-earth writing, he’s an appealing teacher, a straight-shooting friend whose vocal clarity and audible humility make his story accessible to a wide audience. This is hard-earned wisdom, expressed with the relaxed power of someone with street cred, executive savvy, and a quiet passion for maintaining his edge.

For the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback-from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable's highest-paid executive-in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law.
In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network-the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.
Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson's street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback-and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.
