好萊塢巨星 威爾史密斯 ╳ 暢銷作家 馬克曼森 共同撰寫
威爾史密斯在本書中,親自揭露成功演藝生涯背後,
最失敗的人生故事、最激勵人心的領悟。
當時的威爾認為自己是人生贏家:不只擁有空前成功的事業,更帶領家人站在演藝圈的頂峰。只是,他的家人並不這樣認為,他們感覺自己被迫成為威爾事業的一部份,不得不接受這份全年無休的工作。
這部回憶錄,記錄著一趟真正理解自我的旅程,以及對個人強烈意志所帶來的得失,最真切的領悟。由暢銷書《管他的:愈在意愈不開心!停止被洗腦,活出瀟灑自在的快意人生》作者馬克曼森協助撰寫,《Will》講述了一個不再反被情緒掌控、放手尋得真正快樂的故事,提供了讓所有讀者都能一同實踐、改變的方式。
結合威爾史密斯精彩的人生故事,與深刻的人生智慧,這部坦誠、迷人、充滿啟發的自傳,不屬於你讀過的任何一種類別,它只屬於它自己,如同作者本人,獨一無二。(文/博客來編譯)
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 West Philadelphia kid to one of the biggest rap stars of his era, and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, is an epic tale—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 person 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.
