Will

The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller PRAISE FOR WILL 'The best memoir I ever read' Oprah Winfrey 'If you read one book this year, make it this one' Jay Shetty 'Incredible' Idris Elba 'The book is awesome. So candid and considered...fascinating' Chris Evans 'A triumph...really inspiring, so well written, vulnerable and deep. I highly recommend it' Mindy Kaling 'It's fantastic...very moving' Zoe Ball 'Incredibly honest...inspiring' Greg James 'A wild ride' New York Times 'Raw, comedic, inspirational' GQ 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. 'The Hollywood star's autobiography is full of indiscretions, drug-fuelled escapades and terrible parenting. Who could ask for more?' Telegraph 'Candid ... digs into the life events which fine-tuned Smith's weapons-grade charisma and steely determination' Observer 'I absolutely loved it...no holds barred...I felt as if Will Smith was talking to me. It's a testament to him and to his family' Lorraine Kelly

Una de las fuerzas m?s din?micas y reconocidas en el mundo del entretenimiento nos muestra su vida en un libro valiente e inspirador donde se conjugan el ?xito, la felicidad interior y la conexi?n humana. Will narra la historia de una de las trayectorias m?s extraordinarias de la m?sica y el cine. Will Smith, un ni?o inseguro criado en el tenso Oeste de Filadelfia, se convirti? primero en una de las mayores estrellas del rap de su era y luego en una de las mayores estrellas de Hollywood de todos los tiempos, con una sucesi?n de ?xitos de taquilla que muy probablemente no se interrumpir? nunca. Es una historia ?pica de transformaci?n interior y de triunfo exterior; una historia que Will narra extraordinariamente bien. Y, sin embargo, eso es solo la mitad de la historia. Will Smith pensaba, y con raz?n, que hab?a ganado la loter?a de la vida: no era solo que su propio ?xito no tuviera parang?n, sino que toda su familia, al completo, se hallaba en el pin?culo del mundo del entretenimiento. Sin embargo, ellos no lo ve?an as? se sent?an como los protagonistas del circo de Will, un trabajo que les ocupaba los siete d?as de la semana y que, adem?s, no hab?an solicitado. La educaci?n de Will Smith no hab?a hecho m?s que comenzar. Estas memorias son el producto de un viaje de introspecci?n profunda que nos confronta no solo con todo lo que podemos conseguir a base de fuerza de voluntad, sino tambi?n con todo lo que podemos dejar atr?s por ese mismo motivo. Escrita con la ayuda de Mark Manson, el autor del exitoso El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mierda, del que se han vendido millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo, Will es la historia de una persona que ha conseguido tomar las riendas de sus emociones y est? escrita para que todo el que la lea pueda hacer lo mismo. Pocos de nosotros llegaremos a experimentar nunca la presi?n de actuar en los escenarios m?s grandes del mundo y de tener tanto en juego, pero todos podemos entender que es muy posible que tengamos que cambiar lo que nos ha impulsado a completar una etapa en la vida si queremos llegar hasta la meta. La combinaci?n de una sabidur?a genuina y de valor universal y de una historia vital que es tan entretenida, por no decir asombrosa, que llega a ser casi incre?ble, ubica a Will en una categor?a propia, como a su autor. Una de las fuerzas m?s din?micas y m?s reconocidas globalmente en el mundo del entretenimiento actual se abre por completo y nos muestra su vida en un libro valiente e inspirador que recorre la curva de aprendizaje que lo ha llevado a un lugar donde se alinean el ?xito, la felicidad interior y la conexi?n humana. Al mismo tiempo, Will narra la historia de una de las trayectorias m?s extraordinarias que nadie haya recorrido jam?s en el mundo de la m?sica y del cine.

Oscaruddelingen 2022 skulle have været Will Smiths store aften, men da han uddelte en lussing til værten Chris Rock, overskyggede det alt andet. Hvordan kunne han kortslutte på så spektakulær vis? Det får man indblik i, når han fortæller, hvordan han har svigtet sine nærmeste og erkender, at succesen har haft en pris. Hans hustru og børn følte sig som statister i Wills personlige karrierecirkus, og for dem var det et slidsomt arbejde, de aldrig havde fri fra. Will havde måske nok rigdom og berømmelse, men når det kom til balancen mellem arbejdsliv og privatliv, havde han stadig meget at lære.
