WILL

Una de las fuerzas mâas dinâamicas y reconocidas en el mundo del entretenimiento nos muestra su vida en un libro valiente e inspirador donde se conjugan el âexito, la felicidad interior y la conexiâon humana. Will narra la historia de una de las trayectorias mâas extraordinarias de la mâusica y el cine. Will Smith, un niäno inseguro criado en el tenso Oeste de Filadelfia, se convirtiâo 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 sucesiâon de âexitos de taquilla que muy probablemente no se interrumpirâa nunca. Es una historia âepica de transformaciâon 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 razâon, que habâia ganado la loterâia de la vida: no era solo que su propio âexito no tuviera parangâon, sino que toda su familia, al completo, se hallaba en el pinâaculo del mundo del entretenimiento. Sin embargo, ellos no lo veâian asâi: se sentâian como los protagonistas del circo de Will, un trabajo que les ocupaba los siete dâias de la semana y que, ademâas, no habâian solicitado. La educaciâon de Will Smith no habâia hecho mâas que comenzar. Estas memorias son el producto de un viaje de introspecciâon profunda que nos confronta no solo con todo lo que podemos conseguir a base de fuerza de voluntad, sino tambiâen con todo lo que podemos dejar atrâas 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 estâa escrita para que todo el que la lea pueda hacer lo mismo. Pocos de nosotros llegaremos a experimentar nunca la presiâon de actuar en los escenarios mâas 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 combinaciâon de una sabidurâia genuina y de valor universal y de una historia vital que es tan entretenida, por no decir asombrosa, que llega a ser casi increâible, ubica a Will en una categorâia propia, como a su autor.

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' GQOne 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
