About this listen

The unforgettable true story of former gang member and Pride of Britain Award winner, Omar Sharif, who transformed his life—and might change yours...

Omar Sharif grew up in London surrounded by gangs with fierce loyalties. Carrying a knife offered him protection; belonging; family. But after three of his friends were murdered, Omar sought to change his life. He is now a Pride of Britain Award winner and coach who inspires teens and young people with his story, helping them grow self-belief, resist peer pressure and reach their potential.

In this book, Omar shares his powerful and moving true story, showing how gang life creates a bubble that makes young people believe it is their only choice; that they're not good enough. But that a shift in thinking saved his life.

Sharing his 6 ingredients for success—from finding your passion, seeking the right friendships and knowing your worth, to creating a vision for your future, avoiding short-lived hits and giving back—Omar provides encouragement to all young people on how to make great decisions, navigate challenges and achieve success.
