Winner of the 2024 Audie Award for Autobiography/Memoir

THE NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

The renowned and bestselling memoir—written with “insight, truth, and passion” (Sir Ian McKellen)—from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart.

From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations in a career spanning six decades with his indelible command of stage and screen. No other British working actor enjoys such career variety, universal respect, and unending popularity, as witnessed through his seminal roles—whether as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek fame, Professor Charles Xavier of Marvel's X-Men hit movie franchise, his more than forty years as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company, his unforgettable one-man show adapted from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, or his comedic work in American Dad!, Ted, Extras, and Blunt Talk, among many others. Now, he presents his stunning memoir, a revealing portrait of a driven artist whose astonishing life—from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England, to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim—proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“I read this book in a state of wonder, not just for the author’s gifts as a nuanced storyteller and sharp observer, but for those other remarkable gifts, of intelligence, sensitivity, wit, intuition, self-awareness, and élan that were bestowed on him when he came into the world—all of which he has freely shared with us so long and so beautifully; and finished reading in a state of deep gratitude for the gifts, and the gift, of Patrick Stewart.” —Michael Chabon

“Patrick’s early life is a Dickensian tale of domestic violence and misfortune, transformed by chance and some good folk into the actor internationally admired and loved. He writes as well as he acts, with insight, truth, and passion. Another Stewart Triumph!” —Sir Ian McKellen

“There is so much to say about Sir Patrick. He is an amazing actor, great to look at, really funny, and up for anything. He is a kind man…compassionate and sensitive….but, as you will find when you read the book, his greatest asset as a human being is the fact that he is so completely and unapologetically himself.” —Whoopi Goldberg

I just want to give this man a hug. The story is relatable, although I am not an actor or anything close. I only watched star trek occasionally with my father. Patrick, has a way with words I hope to find as I mature. Wonderfully entertaining book. Another job very well done sir! Thank you!

Motivational and eye opening. Splendid.

Patrick's retelling of his life is quite a sincere one. Even when there's conflict or items out of line with modern standards, he's happy to relay that. His complicated relationship with his father is a little surprising he still holds honouring him so close. He's also fairly vague but owns up to his affairs. All said though, he is very dutiful in detailing how and why much of his life happened. I've been quite pleased with his story and being led by him through the journey. You can truly hear how sincere he is in each moment of the telling.

a very sincere memoir and telling of a human story

I loved listening to Patrick. Growing up as a poor but proud lad, his adventures were plentiful and amusing. 70 years of Shakespeare had me enjoying every moment of Patrick's glowing stories of his life. Thank you for sharing your life with us Sir Patrick Stewart! ❤️

Such an interesting Shakespearian acting career.

Only way to enjoy this book! It’s wonderful hearing this beloved man tell his own story, warts and all. I also enjoyed his mispronunciation of certain names etc. Interesting that they left that in, that he, this Shakespearean icon, is actually not perfect in his enunciation.

Hearing his story in that unmistakable voice

Listening to Sir Patrick Stewart deliver his life story, so far, as I followed with the book in hand was a joy I will remember until I am contemplating writing my own.

A fan from rewatching TNG, hearing him cast as Prof X. To watching his hallmark A Christmas Carol every Christmas season, Ive been a fan of his work. Ive tried to find his work as best I could. Macbeth on dvd. Hamlet with David Tenant. Moby Dick! Then to see him reprise Jean Luc for Star Trek Picard was a gift.

I could not wait for him to release his memoir when it was announced. And I knew I wanted to read along as he spoke it to me on an audiobook. That was so much fun. Cherishing every chapter. Learning more about what influenced the actor to make the decisions in acting out the characters he did.

From learning about the RSC in the 70’s. To growing up in northern England in 50’s and 60’s. And Hollywood stardom since 1987. He really did make it so.

It really was a fun trek to read and listen to.

Patrick Stewart lead me through his memoir.

Listening to Sir Patrick Stewart tell the tale of his life this far is like taking a sip of piping hot Earl Grey after stepping in from a cold day’s work. His passion for his craft, his love for his family and his humility in light of an extraordinary life shine in this beautiful, poignant and at times hilarious memoir.

Thank you, Captain
