In "More Myself," Alicia Keys takes us on a deeply personal journey from the glittering heights of global fame to the quiet, shadowed valleys of self-discovery and authenticity. Beyond the multi-platinum albums and the sold-out concerts, Alicia confronts the complex layers of her identity, wrestling with the dichotomy between her public persona and her inner truth. Through a narrative that is both intimate and illuminating, she peels back the layers of her life—her strained relationship with her father, the early years of people-pleasing that marked her rise to stardom, and the relentless pursuit of perfection imposed by the world around her. This book is not just a memoir but a mirror reflecting the universal struggle of navigating one's true self in the midst of expectation and scrutiny. With unprecedented vulnerability, Alicia invites readers into the sanctum of her personal evolution, supported by the voices of those who have known her most intimately. From the streets of Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem to the pinnacle of international acclaim, "More Myself" charts the Grammy Award-winning artist's relentless quest for self-acceptance and the courage to live authentically. It stands as a poignant testament to the power of self-reflection and the bravery required to step into one’s own light. Beyond its pages, Alicia's narrative serves as a beacon for anyone yearning to find and embrace their own worth amidst the cacophony of societal expectation.

The award-winning musician, actor, producer, entrepreneur, and activist opens up about perfectionism, courage, privacy, and identity. - Adam Grant
It’s hard to pinpoint the precise moment when we internalize others’ assessments; it’s usually not just a single experience but rather a series of moments that bruise the spirit and lead us to distrust ourselves and those around us.
— Alicia Keys, More Myself
