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.

I loved listening to Keke narrate this book, but it was part self help and part memoir when I wanted more memoir......more

Goodreads review by Sophie on December 03, 2024

The book feels like a reflection of a life spent existing for other people. Master of Me is less memoir, more self-help, but narrated by Keke Palmer with so much charm and magnetism that you’ll stay hooked even when the content doesn’t quite deliver on its promise. The marketing sets you up for raw,......more

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Keke Palmer, but this book just felt trite. It was like she compiled a bunch of cliches, advice and proverbs and was like “this could be a book” and then just listed it all. The final result lacks heart, depth or purpose.......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on December 02, 2024

Sorry to this book, but this is not a memoir… I was so excited to see that Keke Palmer had written a memoir. She is such a joy and I’ve loved hearing her outlook on life via her podcast/social media. I listened to the audiobook because I simply love to hear the woman speak, and sure she did make me l......more
