    About this audiobook

    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.

      This book gave lots of jewels and inspiration. Curtis Jackson is certainly a genius in his own right learning from history and having a whole spew of weapons in his arsenal to combat life. I can sense Robert Greenes influence in this book with a series of stories that draw everything together to make Mr.Jacksons stories more relatable and that more inspiring. This was a good book that left me with many nuggets of wisdom I will use in my life.

      I have a new outlook on who Curtis Jackson is after listening to his book. I love that he narrated it himself because you're able to hear his emotions as he shares his experiences. I'm going to listen again and take notes this time; there is alot of wisdom shared here!

      Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s book, “Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter” is INCREDIBLE! I listed to the audio version, narrated by Curtis Jackson. The book has all kinds of stuff: leadership, business, rap, board room, charity, boxing, family stuff, & many great stories across various industries. Of course, there’s profanity too. Well done Curtis Jackson. I have a new level of respect for you.

    • 3/5
      I was hoping it would be more an in depth behind the scenes look at Mr. Curtis but it was mostly just a kind of self help book. A few good tidbits in there , but nothing mind blowing.
    • 5/5
      Informative and filled with great insight! I liked his music and that is what made me pick up the book but now I have a new appreciation for him as an entrepreneur! I love his grit and determination! Looking forward to more books from Curtis Jackson!

      Inspiring, motivational, and down to earth wisdom from an incredible talent!!

      50 cent has penned an incredibly inspiring literary work of art. Sharing his experiences both, from the rough streets of New York and from the trenches of corporate boardrooms, 50 has dropped a plethora of gems that have real world applications. His voiceover delivery is calm, cool, collected and really inspiring.
