About this listen

A warm, wise and funny guide to life from one of Britain's best-loved actors: perfect for all film lovers

-------

Hollywood legend and British national treasure Sir Michael Caine shares the wisdom, stories, insight and skills that life has taught him in his remarkable career.

One of our best-loved actors, Sir Michael Caine has starred in some of the best and most-loved films ever made - from the classic British movies Alfie, Zulu and The Italian Job to the Hollywood blockbusting Dark Knight trilogy, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Hannah and Her Sisters and Cider House Rules.

He knows what success takes: he's made it to the top of his profession from the toughest beginning. But as he says, 'Small parts can lead to big things. And if you keep doing things right, the stars will align when you least expect it.' Now he shares everything he's learned.

With brilliant new insight into his life and work and with his wonderful gift for story, this is Caine at his wise and entertaining best.

I saw this before Christmas and asked for the book as a present. It was a blessing that I didn’t receive it and ended up getting it on audible read by Michael Caine himself instead.
As well as great anecdotes, there is lots of wisdom for those not just in the creative professions but those of us wanting to embrace life in the middle part and get clear on what really matters; people.
I hope you enjoy as much as I did. The book gets even better towards the end and Michael Caine says the same about his life

Exceeded high expectations

One of the main reasons I signed-up to Audible was to listen from those who write the books and who I admire. Whilst Michael has written this as an educational piece for budding actors, I have found this inspirational to my approach to my career - lots of tips, insights - but I love to hear the stories between the movies. Wishing Michael a continued career, he just gets better.

Quality insight from a Top Quality Gent.

This book is an autobiography as much as it is a book that teaches you about life itself, narrated by a seemingly wonderful, kind, honest, friendly, loving and foremost very wise man. My respect and admiration for the man behind the actor has grown exponentially to the point that I now truly believe that he is perhaps even greater a man than he was/is an amazing actor. Truly exceptional Sir Caine!

Gripping, moving, honest. A must read/listen

Thank you Michael for spending a few hours telling me about your life. it felt like an education. i feel such affection and optimism after sharing your story. I love the way your life unfolded and how you always look for the best in things. it is endearing to hear about your love and gratitude for your family and your philosophies on life and how you cope with loss and how you cannot change the past. It is surprising how very very hard you worked to perfect your craft. I did enjoy the name dropping and am really happy for you and wish you the best. this book was thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. it seems even more personal when the author narrates their own book. it really feels like you are listening to them in a theatre or lecture hall.

brilliant
