The Oscar-winning actor stated he has decided it is time to tell his story "on my own terms," offering an unfiltered account beyond headlines.
The book will trace his journey from his father Kirk Douglas's shadow to his own stardom, detailing personal challenges such as cancer and substance abuse.
It will also highlight his enduring 25-year marriage to fellow actor Catherine Zeta-Jones, which has defied initial scepticism.
Douglas, an acclaimed actor and producer with multiple awards, is also recognised for his philanthropy and activism, including his role as a UN Messenger of Peace.
