Award-Winning Artist Redefines Wellness and Reveals How to Live Unbothered

 UNBOTHERED The Power of Choosing Joy By Omarion 

Living under a constant spotlight since his role as the lead singer in the teen R&B group B2K and then through his successful solo career, Omarion has lived the classic life of fame and success as an international superstar. Today he has evolved into a grounded, spiritually engaged father and artist whose popularity only continues to grow. 

Now recognized as the “King of Unbothered” a name dubbed by his fans due to his calm demeanor amid his complex family situation, Omarion has centered his life around holistic wellness and what it means to live a good life by acknowledging his truth, exercising emotional intelligence and choosing joy. 

In this stunning debut, he offers an intimate lens into his spiritual journey that has inspired so many. 

In Unbothered: The Power of Choosing Joy (HarperOne; Hardcover; September 13, 2022) Omarion addresses three pillars of holistic wellness that he uses to maintain his higher self: 
Spiritual: Sacred symbols and ancient mantras restore alignment and offer wisdom for deeper reflection and protection of peace.
 • Mental: Affirmations and meditations provide greater perspective within diverse challenges and encourage an overall embrace of positivity. 
Physical: Breathwork, yoga, and dance release toxic energy to make space for the ability to stay connected to self-truth and purpose.

He reveals never before shared stories alongside the techniques that keep him grounded, even through public setbacks and detrimental headlines. Omarion is not interested in settling scores, rather he’s focused on grace, forgiveness, and exercising emotional intelligence. He references his own life experiences to show readers how to master their emotions, embrace joy, and find mental clarity so they, too, can be “unbothered” by negativity. 

Combining anecdotes, journal prompts, motivational quotes, mantras, breathing exercises, and black-and-white images that inspire him (including enso circle from Zen Buddhism), this insightful guide provides a greater understanding of what it means to have a good life. With nearly 10 million followers searching for the key to this “unbothered” lifestyle, Omarion shares his grounding philosophies rooted in love, understanding, and reflection.
