There are many miles from the business school and basketball court at the University of Southern California to 50 million viewers for the final episode of a TV show called Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck has lived every one of those miles in his own iconoclastic and joyful way.

In Tom Selleck’s memoir,You Never Know, the star of Magnum P.I. and Blue Bloods shares his backstory—from the University of Southern California business school and basketball court to his co-star turn with Mae West and his recurring role as Monica’s boyfriend on Friends. 
 
Selleck clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares dozens of never-told stories from all corners of his personal and professional life. He also shares what it was like to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties— and how he adjusted his career to protect his family’s privacy and normalcy. 
 
With charm, talent, and self-deprecating humor, Selleck reveals himself as someone who reached incredible heights by always insisting on being himself. His journey offers a fresh perspective on a changing industry and a changing world.
