  1. 1. Wouldn't It Be Nice

    My Own Story

    A candid memoir tracing the rise from a turbulent California childhood and a domineering father to the dizzying success of co-founding one of America’s most influential pop bands, detailing the studio innovations and songs that reshaped popular music. It confronts the personal costs of fame — mental breakdowns, drug abuse, fraught relationships, and controversial therapies and management — while reflecting on creativity, regret, and the longing for a quieter, more ordinary life.
