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.

听得有声书,整体听感很棒,作者自述的时候还是很用心的。整体感觉Will是个紧跟潮流抓住机遇的人,再加幸运加持,就造就了他在音乐电视剧以及电影界都大放异彩的独特经历。

前半段说唱生涯很精彩 讲DJ和其他流行文化;后面就变成流水账和风流韵事记录薄 对于非粉丝的我来说就没什么吸引力了

加一星给audiobook,真的制作精良。结尾我真的被感动到,哪怕之前因为某些内容大叫了很多次。 我当时其实是在quora看到有人问为什么这本书让很多人不爽,回答说因为威尔史密斯在这里面展示的自己过于软弱(对于Jada),不像个男人。于是立刻买了。听完之后觉得Jada挺不容易的,前妻Sheree也挺不容易的,初恋女友Melanie也挺不容易的虽然她出过轨,并且觉得他对待她们的方式没有哪里不男人了(... 加一星给audiobook,真的制作精良。结尾我真的被感动到,哪怕之前因为某些内容大叫了很多次。 我当时其实是在quora看到有人问为什么这本书让很多人不爽,回答说因为威尔史密斯在这里面展示的自己过于软弱(对于Jada),不像个男人。于是立刻买了。听完之后觉得Jada挺不容易的,前妻Sheree也挺不容易的,初恋女友Melanie也挺不容易的虽然她出过轨,并且觉得他对待她们的方式没有哪里不男人了(含义复杂),大概这就是视角的差异吧¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 作为character study挺有意思的。银幕上充满魅力的威尔史密斯和私下里充满缺陷的威尔史密斯非常完美地融合了。 (展开)

去年看完的,寫得蠻私密的 邊看會邊有點訝異,影帝的家庭、出生居然是這樣的。

Will's memoir follows the journey of a black kid pursuing dreams from childhood to adulthood. Transitioning from a rapper to a comedian and then to a movie star, with the help of others, he demonstrates that he can achieve success in his own way. His audiobook is incredibly vivid, and his unique accent never fails to make me burst into laughter. (展开)

五星的有声书体验,Will Smith 当narrator也是可以拿影帝的水平,听到《当幸福来敲门》的台词还是会起鸡皮疙瘩。但故事太平庸了,金钱和名望让他的内核已经变成了一个白男,他没有解决daddy issue,而是变成了他爸。
