"Like its namesake song, McDonald's memoir is refreshingly self-deprecating and, at its core, an underdog's triumph." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Synopsis
When I Look Back Today, Sometimes My Life Seems to be the Result of a million random events-good and bad. But I've come to see them all as pieces of the puzzle that ultimately is my story. Some pieces are smooth-edged moments of well-intentioned-if not always successful-efforts that are easy enough for me to claim, while other pieces are jagged and hard for me to even admit to myself, pieces that have taken me years to come to terms with-much less recognize how they also fit. Those dark secrets, some of which I'm still wrestling with, represent a person that I was, but hopefully not who I am today. I've come to understand that those pieces all had to fall exactly as they did for me to be exactly where I am at this moment, and that I'd likely never have gotten here any other way. I've discovered that it's not necessarily life's biggest achievements that most directly impact who we become, but rather the smaller, seemingly insignificant-yet vivid-memories that often conceal their importance., * INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A sweeping and evocative memoir from the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Grammy Award-winning, platinum selling singer-songwriter Michael McDonald, written with his friend, Emmy Award-nominated actor, comedian, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Paul Reiser. Doobie Brothers. Steely Dan. Chart topping soloist. Across a half-century of American music, Michael McDonald's unmistakably smooth baritone voice defined an era of rock and R&B with hit records like "What A Fool Believes," "Takin' It to the Streets," "I Keep Forgettin'," "Peg," "It Keeps You Running," "You Belong to Me," and "Yah Mo B There." In his candid, freewheeling memoir, written with his friend, the Emmy Award-nominated actor and comedian Paul Reiser, Michael tells the story of his life and music. A high school dropout from Ferguson, Missouri, Michael chased his dreams in 1970's California, a heady moment of rock opportunity and excess. As a rising session musician and backing vocalist, a series of encounters would send him on a wild ride around the world and to the heights of rock stardom--from joining Steely Dan and becoming a defining member of The Doobie Brothers to forging a path as a breakout solo R&B artist. Interwoven with the unforgettable tales of the music, Michael tells a deeply affecting story of losing and finding himself as a man. He reckons with the unshakeable insecurities that drove him, the drug and alcohol addictions that plagued him, and the highs and lows of popularity. Along the way he relays the lessons he's learned, and that if he's learned anything at all it's that there's often little correlation between what you get and what you deserve. Filled with unbelievable stories and a matchless cast of music greats including James Taylor, Ray Charles, Carly Simon, and Quincy Jones, What a Fool Believes is a moving and entertaining memoir that is sure to be a classic.
