Publisher's summary

If you’re looking to be inspired by someone who has truly made the most of life’s opportunities, then listen to this remarkable story of one of today’s most well-known celebrities.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is best known as a former professional wrestler who later came to dominate Hollywood with a series of blockbuster movies. His powerful on-screen presence and strong physique give the impression that he effortlessly reached global success, yet Dwayne faced a series of challenges and setbacks as he rose to the top.

From being homeless as a child and later having little more than $7 in his pocket to facing the reality that his dream career in football was over, Dwayne’s life hasn’t always been a linear track of successes. However, rather than let this bring him down, he never gave up and pushed himself to be the best he could in everything he applied himself to.

If you want to discover the story behind Dwayne’s extraordinary success, this book takes you on a journey from his childhood to how he became one of Hollywood’s most well-known action figures. Strip away the glitz and the glamor, and you find a remarkable story of persistence, commitment, and deeply ingrained work ethics that kept Dwayne moving forward to where he is today. If you want proof that success is rarely served on a silver platter and the majority of successful people have to sweat blood and tears to reach their goals, then Dwayne’s life story will give you exactly that.

In this book, you will find:

  • The story of Dwayne’s childhood and how it shaped the strong core values he lives by today
  • Why his football dreams came to an end and how he became one of WWE’s greatest wrestlers
  • How he moved into Hollywood and became a successful A-list actor - even without any acting background, experience, or qualifications
  • The main lessons he learned throughout his life
  • Dwayne’s 10 rules of success and how you can apply them, too

Are you ready to take a journey through life in the shoes of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? Then buy now, and let's get started!

Featured Article: 5 Truly Wild Pro Wrestling Memoirs


When people discuss wrestling, one thing that always seems to come up is whether or not it's "real." The WWF (now the WWE) became incredibly popular in the 1980s, and its breakout stars were seemingly everywhere. Whether or not you believe wrestling is staged, there is no denying that it is incredibly physical, challenging entertainment. Pro wrestling draws millions of fans to the stands every year, and the wrestlers themselves are in amazing physical shape, performing wild stunts and risking injury night after night.

More Substance Needed to Help Others

The book was interesting, focused a lot on his life, but not enough to really change lives. The "how to" was limited or missing. I expected more.

Great and inspiring listen.

When I saw my friend who is not a WWE fan reading this I was happy but I realized being a fan since The Rock debuted in the 90’s and became one of my favorite superstars that I needed to read it as well. I wasn’t disappointed either. He is so inspiring and definitely someone I aspire to be like even moreso after listening to this book. His relationship with his ex wife and still manager Dany is amazing. They should do Red Table Talk with Will & Jada!

Too short

Very short with little real stories. Like reading a wiki article instead of a book.

So inspiring

I would have to say that as a soldier in the United States Army currently I grew up watching the Rock become the Hero that he is today. This book like everything else he has done is very inspiring. This book will help anyone that has been through some thing to see the other side. Great book and the Rock Dwayne Johnson will always be my hero!

Totally motivating and a kick in the face for these desperate times we live in on how to persevere and have a “bring it “ attitude towards life . Narrator also portrays this well when reading DJ story.
