Big Sean is adding “author” to his already impressive resume!
The Detroit-born rapper, real name Sean Anderson, just released his first book entitled Go Higher: Five Practices for Purpose, Success, and Inner Peace. A longtime mental health advocate, the self-improvement book is designed to inspire readers to invest in themselves and unlock their full potential, Billboard reports.
With a foreword written by bestselling author Jay Shetty, Go Higher offers a powerful roadmap to self-discovery, blending personal experience with practical guidance. Sean breaks down five essential practices—accepting, strategizing, trying, trusting, and manifesting—that have helped him navigate his own journey toward inner peace and success.
The rapper opens up about his personal experiences with journaling, affirmations, and meditation, offering readers step-by-step techniques to cultivate self-awareness and mindfulness. He took to social media to announce the book’s release, revealing that it took him two years to write. Deepak Chopra, bestselling author, wellness guru, and founder of the Chopra Foundation, praised the book as “a thoughtful guide to achieving inner peace and purposeful success.”
“If you told younger me I’d be sitting here with my own book I probably wouldn’t believe it. 2 years ago, I had an incredible conversation with my brother [Jay Shetty] that turned into some real self-reflection. I took the time over the last 2 years to write this,” he captioned a photo holding his book.
Now available wherever books are sold, the rapper isn’t just talking the talk—he’s walking the walk. In light of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, Sean announced via Instagram that all proceeds from Go Higher through the end of February will be donated to fire victims.
Whether you’re looking for motivation, a fresh start, or a deeper understanding of yourself, Go Higher serves as a “spiritual guidebook” to help you reach new heights. Available now on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, and audiobook format (narrated by Sean himself), this book is a must-read for anyone ready to step into their power.
