Una de las fuerzas más dinámicas y reconocidas en el mundo del entretenimiento nos muestra su vida en un libro valiente e inspirador donde se conjugan el éxito, la felicidad interior y la conexión humana. Will narra la historia de una de las trayectorias más extraordinarias de la música y el cine. Will Smith, un niño inseguro criado en el tenso Oeste de Filadelfia, se convirtió 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 sucesión de éxitos de taquilla que muy probablemente no se interrumpirá nunca. Es una historia épica de transformación 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 razón, que había ganado la lotería de la vida: no era solo que su propio éxito no tuviera parangón, sino que toda su familia, al completo, se hallaba en el pináculo del mundo del entretenimiento. Sin embargo, ellos no lo veían así se sentían como los protagonistas del circo de Will, un trabajo que les ocupaba los siete días de la semana y que, además, no habían solicitado. La educación de Will Smith no había hecho más que comenzar. Estas memorias son el producto de un viaje de introspección profunda que nos confronta no solo con todo lo que podemos conseguir a base de fuerza de voluntad, sino también con todo lo que podemos dejar atrás 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 está escrita para que todo el que la lea pueda hacer lo mismo. Pocos de nosotros llegaremos a experimentar nunca la presión de actuar en los escenarios más 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 combinación de una sabiduría genuina y de valor universal y de una historia vital que es tan entretenida, por no decir asombrosa, que llega a ser casi increíble, ubica a Will en una categoría propia, como a su autor.Una de las fuerzas más dinámicas y más reconocidas globalmente en el mundo delentretenimiento actual se abre por completo y nos muestra su vida en un libro valiente einspirador que recorre la curva de aprendizaje que lo ha llevado a un lugar donde sealinean el éxito, la felicidad interior y la conexión humana. Al mismo tiempo, Will narra lahistoria de una de las trayectorias más extraordinarias que nadie haya recorrido jamásen el mundo de la música y del cine. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe instant #1 New York Times bestseller!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#2;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
