NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER
“Not your typical Hollywood autobiography. Brutally honest, restless and questing.” (O, The Oprah Magazine)
“Elegantly written with her wicked sense of humor on full display, the memoir is catnip for fans who have never managed to crack the exterior of the elusive star.” (Vogue)
Sharon Stone tells her own story: a journey of healing, love, and purpose.
Sharon Stone, one of the most renowned actresses in the world, suffered a massive stroke that cost her not only her health, but her career, family, fortune, and global fame. In The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone chronicles her efforts to rebuild her life and writes about her slow road back to wholeness and health. In a business that doesn’t accept failure, in a world where too many voices are silenced, Stone found the power to return, the courage to speak up, and the will to make a difference in the lives of men, women, and children around the globe.
Over the course of these intimate pages, as candid as a personal conversation, Stone talks about her pivotal roles, her life-changing friendships, her worst disappointments, and her greatest accomplishments. She reveals how she went from a childhood of trauma and violence to a career in an industry that in many ways echoed those same assaults, under cover of money and glamour. She describes the strength and meaning she found in her children, and in her humanitarian efforts. And ultimately, she shares how she fought her way back to find not only her truth, but her family’s reconciliation and love.
Stone made headlines not just for her beauty and her talent, but for her candor and her refusal to “play nice”, and it’s those same qualities that make this memoir so powerful. The Beauty of Living Twice is a book for the wounded and a book for the survivors; it’s a celebration of women’s strength and resilience, a reckoning, and a call to activism. It is proof that it’s never too late to raise your voice and speak out.

主播声情并茂,👍 这是Sharon的个人奋斗史+人生感悟。 她小时候的普通且显艰苦的成长经历,从学霸到模特,再到演员至影星,中年再受中风重挫,直至死亡边缘恢复,重新出山,再创辉煌,艰苦奋斗+运气+贵人相助一路走来。 她的两次婚姻(描述较少)和不能生育,领养孩子,种种情感起伏较为感人。 个人回忆录包含诸多细节,如,小时候铲除黑冰,车祸前的漂移特技救命,表演大师如何指导她的演技,母亲宁愿与保姆聊天也不跟她聊,评论汶川地震被恶意解读…… 缺点,涉及太多人名、剧名,对80-00年美国演艺界不熟很难理解。还有,演艺圈的人容易信藏传佛教,以dl为师,对大陆的感情可想而知。
