Description

Gucci Mane, one of hip-hop’s most iconic figures and a trailblazer in Atlanta’s rap culture, reveals his struggles with mental health and drug addiction that will provide fans and readers with insights into his career and life. As one of hip-hop’s legendary figures and an indispensable fixture in Atlanta’s vibrant rap culture, Gucci was on an upswing in his career when he sold his debut memoir, The Autobiography of Gucci Mane in 2016. He had just been released from prison, sporting a slimmer physique and health-conscious diet; he announced his ninth album, the platinum-selling Everybody Looking; and became the face of a global campaign with the luxury Italian designer that inspired his name and persona. But underneath all that, he was hiding some of his darkest struggles from the world. Now he is ready to tell his full story. In Episodes, Gucci revisits his life and shares what was really going on for the first time. The mental anguish, the pitfalls, the triggers no one speaks about. Each episode is Gucci experiencing something—something you may remember from the news or even heard in his music—and giving you the background of where he was mentally. He reveals how his fascination with money got the worst of him, why he committed certain crimes, the story behind his ice cream cone tattoo, and how his wife felt watching him overdose. Along the way, he interviews medical professionals and mental health experts to provide insight into mental health awareness. Episodes is Gucci’s way of reaching beyond the “each one, teach one” approach of discussing mental illness behind closed doors, opting instead to cultivate a discourse amongst a culture that, while steadily improving how it regards mental health, still stigmatizes public discussions around the topic. This compelling memoir sheds light on both his inner struggles and his triumphs, offering an unflinching account of a man who defied the odds to leave a lasting legacy on music, culture, and conversations around mental health.

  • Great read!!
Format: Hardcover
This was a really good book. It gave insight to what people with mental illnesses go through. I think it was really brave for him as a black man to not only speak up, but to write it out and attempt to help others.

  • Real and Relatable
Format: Kindle
I never thought I would relate so much to Gucci Mane. I swear we have so many things in common, one diagnosis included. He put what's happening in my life into words, one of the hardest things for me to do. It made me feel like "Wow! There is someone out there who's doing amazing things who is just like me. I* make sense," if that makes sense. I needed to read this. ... show more

  • Good book for mental health.

The book was really good. I like how he talked about his mental health journey especially dealing with bipolar disorder.

  • Refreshingly Honest!
Format: Kindle
I appreciate the openness and honesty of this book, as well as its purpose, which serves to honor his family, friends, and colleagues, some of whom didn’t make it out like he did. It also does a good job of exposing some of the unfair business practices of the music industry. It’s a worthwhile read!
