Publisher Description
From beloved entertainer Omarion comes a profound redefinition of what it means to live a good life—revealing The King of Unbothered’s secrets to wholeness, love, and the power of choosing joy.
As a boy band superstar, Omarion lived the classic life of fame and success in the spotlight. Yet today he is a grounded, spiritually engaged father and artist whose popularity continues to grow. In his stunning debut, he offers an intimate lens into his spiritual journey that has inspired so many to also nurture themselves.
Organized by three pillars—Spiritual, Mental, and Physical—Unbothered shows how Omarion has centered his life around holistic wellness, detailing the practices he uses including breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, dancing, ancient mantras, and an overall embrace of positivity. Omarion reveals never before shared stories alongside the practices that keep him centered, even through public setbacks that have made headlines. Omarion is not interested in settling scores: these poignant stories are about grace and forgiveness—and about exercising emotional intelligence.
Bringing together anecdotes, journal prompts, motivational quotes, mantras, breathing exercises, and black-and-white images that inspire him (like the enso circle from Zen Buddhism), this keepsake guide—in the vein of bestsellers such as It’s All in Your Head, Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, and Good Vibes, Good Life—offers a new perspective and greater understanding of what it means to have a good life.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
R&B superstar Omarion has turned his good fortune into good vibes, as he explains in his guide to living your own best hassle-free life. After rocketing to success as a member of the ’90s boy band B2K, Omarion has spent the past 20 years navigating the high-pressure music industry. In this deeply candid self-help memoir, he shares his spiritual journey and how it helped him deal with the stresses of fame, fatherhood, and some very high-profile ordeals. We appreciated hearing about Omarion’s philosophical thoughts, mantras, meditations, and journal prompts, particularly because he’s also open about how each one has helped him personally. Find your own path to peace and prosperity with a little guidance from the Unbothered King.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Musician Omarion debuts with an underwhelming manual for enduring hardship. He illustrates how to overcome adversity with anecdotes from his life, detailing how he got a record deal at 16 as part of the boy band B2K, became a Grammy-nominated star, and embarked on a solo career after B2K's tumultuous breakup. Recounting how B2K was passed on by a slew of record companies before the group finally received an offer, Omarion warns, "if you allow it, fear will trick you out of trying." Other anecdotes come across as self-congratulatory, as when Omarion pats himself on the back for "mastering my emotions" during B2K's tense 2019 reunion tour, during which his bandmate revealed that he was in a relationship with Omarion's children's mother: "I could have refused to co-parent with the mother of my children.... But I didn't." The recurrent focus on manhood ("Every real man should have a grip on his ability to focus") may appeal to male readers, but the rehashing of old grievances ("I was bashed and disrespected," Omarion remembers of being in B2K) and the ho-hum advice ("If you let people throw you off, they will") are letdowns. Omarion's fans might want to check this out, but others need not apply.
