A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF FALL 2024
Keke Palmer thought she knew who she was. What it means to be a good person and what it takes to be a success. It all seemed so simple, until she realized the challenges she would have to face to prove to herself who she wanted to be. From feeling alienated to having to restart her career after ten years in to becoming a single mother just months after her son was born—everything she worked for in life that she felt granted her what she wanted now also reminded her that “life is going to life” and throw curveballs regardless of what you deserve. She found herself asking, Where do I find my power? How do I master myself?
In her own raw and intimate voice, Keke talks about everything from her struggles with boundaries to unconditional love, forgiveness, and worthiness. “Don’t block your blessings and potential opportunities by allowing the voices of other people to influence your actions,” she says. “How you’re choosing to set yourself up for success is between you and the person looking back at you in the mirror.”
Throughout the book, Keke also poses listeners with the questions needed to get them through their own challenging times by sharing personal stories and lessons she’s learned along the way. She gets candid about the tools she’s developed to take the reins, harness her vulnerability, and recognize ownership in the narrative of her life—which allowed her to turn personal power into major power.
In this exhilarating, deeply poignant, and often laugh-out-loud book, Lauren Keyana Palmer gets real about life, work, love, and belief. These pages will encourage readers to empower themselves with the truth, leverage their currency, and find the keys to master themselves and the art of alchemy. Keke writes, “You are not on anyone else’s timeline, only your own.”
The result is a tour de force.
They said, “Jack of all Trades, Master of None.”
She said, “No, I am the Master. Of Me.”

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When a self-made renaissance woman shares hard-won wisdom, it’s time to perk up your ears. Keke Palmer has made her way in movies, TV, theater, music, and more, through the classic combo of talent, determination, and hard work. With Master of Me, she lets you in on some of the valuable life lessons that fueled her momentum. Striking a balance somewhere between memoir and motivational seminar, Palmer puts the focus on self-empowerment. You get the straight story on the ups and downs of her varied career—working with everyone from Queen Latifah to Key & Peele, going through the music business wringer, making the shift from child actor to grown-up artist. But Palmer also dispenses tons of advice applicable to just about anybody, digging into the nuts and bolts of maintaining perspective, honoring your ambitions, and achieving self-definition. Breaking up the audiobook’s three sections are excerpts from Palmer’s engrossing conversations with the likes of Amy Poehler and Tyler Perry and self-assessment exercises to help listeners internalize her ideas. Through it all, the same charisma and humor that spurred her success make her a constantly commanding narrator. Master of Me is a fun listen and a priceless guide to writing your own story and finding new paths to fulfillment.
