Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story is the first memoir by American musician Brian Wilson, written with celebrity journalist Todd Gold and published by HarperCollins in 1991. The book was heavily criticized for the implausibility of Wilson being its actual author, and it inspired multiple defamation lawsuits from his family members and associates. A second memoir, I Am Brian Wilson (2016), was intended to supplant Wouldn't It Be Nice, but received similar criticisms regarding authorship.
