About this audiobook
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.
