One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had.
Will Smith's transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well. But it's only half the story.
Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over.
This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one exceptional man mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.

Vinerea trecută vorbeam cu Bogdana despre autobiografia lui Will Smith pe care vă recomand să o puneți pe lista de lectură. Este o carte despre maturizare, despre relații și cum le crești și întreții, este despre a fi părinte, despre acceptare și despre muncă. Te răscolește. Pentru cei care au crescut cu Fresh Prince of Bel Air - Will rămâne acel actor bun de comedie, acum vei descoperi omul și cât de mult a muncit pentru a ajunge aici, fără a se pierde pe sine, păstrând iubirea pentru familie mai presus de orice. Cartea este scrisă cu ajutorul lui Mark Manson (genial ca blogger) - pe care îl știi ca autor dacă ai citit Arta subtilă a nepăsării (una dintre cărțile mele de suflet) și Arta subtilă a Disperării. Așa că, pune pe lista de lecturi din vacanța de Crăciun oricare dintre cele 3 cărți pentru că îți oferi idei, perspective diferite și povești frumoase despre dezvoltare. V-aș recomanda în măsura în care puteți, să le citiți direct în engleză 🙂

Cea mai populară biografie a anului, cu cel mai rapid impact a fost Will, într-un an cu mai multe apariții notabile. Will impresionează prin forță, printr-un 'WILLpower' care l-a făcut să depășească frici, bariere, să se autodepășească și să se reinventeze. Cartea arată mult că 'Power is not a man with a man in his hand.' Will Smith un actor foarte fain, dar biografia lui arată cât de mișto sau chiar mult mai mișto ca OM, fără să fie perfect. Umanitatea transpare, Will nu e doar un produs bine făcut, e real, Will e real, există.
