About this listen

With over 100 movies to his credit over five decades, Hollywood legend and British national treasure Michael Caine shares the wisdom, stories, insight and skills for success in life that acting has taught him in his remarkable career.

One of our best-loved actors, Michael Caine has starred in everything from classic British films Alfie, Zulu and The Italian Job to the Hollywood blockbusting The Dark Knight trilogy and much-loved movie favourites Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Hannah and Her Sisters and The Quiet American. Caine has excelled in every kind of role - with a skill that's made it look easy.

Acting has taught him as much about life as it has his craft. He knows what success takes - not just luck but hard work and preparation. He also knows that it doesn't stop when you're successful. As he says, 'When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins'. Now he wants to share everything he knows.

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

An entertaining treat.

A masterful performance by a true star that feels like a warm conversation over the back fence with your favorite neighbor.

Some wisdom, advice and perspective on life

Enjoyable listen with some life lessons sewn in to Michael Caine's film career and life in general. Somewhat repetitive if you have listened to or read Caine's previous autobiographies.

Required reading/listening for one n’ all.

Revisiting his life with the rare perspective only Michael Caine can bring. Carrying on from his previous books in a way which illuminates his experience as if it itself is a story for all
to learn from. Not without laughs but also steeped in pith. You can not go wrong choosing this.

Absolutely loved the storytelling and Michael Caine himself. I've learned a lot about the struggles and successes of the great actor like himself and how himself manage to be better and overcome all of his both professional and personal challenges.

Blow the doors off, he did

Great stories told in his own inimitable style.
A must for anyone interested in not just the craft of acting but of generally being a decent person.

Gentle soul, gentle man

I have always been intrigued by Michael and his autobiography filled in so many of the gaps that make him the man he is as well as the insightful actor he became. A pleasure to listen to and a pleasure to understand him more.

Quality - for all ages

A great story even more so than it’s real.

There’s some real gems for life in there, especially for young people trying to make sense of adulthood. Do these things though, you’ll go far in life.

Thank you Sir Michael.
