Viki King is well known for her wise counsel to luminaries in the Entertainment Industry as well as to many people, all over the world, in all walks of life. Viki has addressed various world cinema forums as their keynote speaker in Beijing, London and Paris, and has lectured in the film schools of UCLA, USC and NYU. She is the confidant and visionary to the principals in the creation of many films.
Her book, How to Write a Movie in 21 days – The Inner Movie Method, in print for 40 years, has become a classic industry-standard guide and has been translated into many languages. Additionally, Viki is the author of three other books. Her latest work
is How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life – a Unique Autobiography. It starts before birth, ends after life and addresses all the ages in between.
As one client put it, “Viki has the uncanny ability, with levity and brevity, to get you from in your way, to on your way.” ~
"How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life chronicles, in a series of powerful prose snapshots, Viki King’s conversations with a higher power before conception, her childhood of self-determination and the ups and downs of adulthood, all the way to the anticipated completion of her time on Earth.
As I immersed myself in her story I was struck by two potent thoughts. The first: Her writing style, especially in recounting her younger years, is reminiscent of the writing in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. The second: I really want to meet this woman. I need her light in my life.
Well, I did meet her, and her light is now thoroughly in my life—and that’s a fine, fine thing.
With gentle humour, a light touch and overwhelming positivity How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life shows how Viki has navigated her existence with light and grace, and how you can do the same. Read it through in one sitting or dip into the ages that apply to you now, then, or in years to come. However you do it, do it.
How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life is a monument to a life lived consciously and well. Let Viki King’s luminescence into your life. You’ll be glad you did.

"With each unfolding story of Viki King’s life journey, my smile grew larger, and my laughter became lighter. And this is no small thing as my first encounter with this delightful book was during the final weeks of hospice care with Mom. Viki’s stories helped me find meaning and a higher perspective during a time of deepest loss for our family. To be aware that the presence of love endures across all time and space is truly the greatest gift.
A treasure, overflowing with a spirit of mirth, Viki is a radiant and pure-hearted soul with whom I’m blessed to share in our real-life friendship. How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life is a beautiful way for you, too, to befriend the extraordinary Viki King and become imbued with her wisdom, truth and vibrant love."
