"Leon ""Locksmith"" Rolle is one-quarter of the phenomenally successful band Rudimental. In this book, he shares his aspirational story. With chapters on mindset, self-belief and confidence, Leon encourages you to find balance and happiness, no matter what life throws at you.

Leon grew up in Hackney, where he played semi-professional football and went on to form Rudimental with three childhood friends. He says: ""Things weren’t always easy for me growing up, and I made a lot of mistakes. But I don’t regret any of it, because everything that’s happened has made me Locksmith, and that makes me proud. I want you to be proud of yourself too. You have the power to be great, and successes, mistakes and failures are all just a part of life. It's the journey that counts, because that's what makes you who you are.""

Let Leon's story inspire you to embrace life and fulfil your incredible potential."
