NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • Sharon Stone tells her own story: a journey of healing, love, and purpose. “Not your typical Hollywood autobiography. Brutally honest, restless and questing.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

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.

The One

If you only read/listen to one memoir this year, let this be the one. You won’t be disappointed.

You had me until Karma.

It’s almost like she waited to reveal how she really felt until the last three chapters of her book. ‘I feel duped’ would be an understatement.
Reading this book is like dating a super handsome guy and finding out, month three, that he is a serial killer still living with his mother.
My gut told me there must be some exaggeration relative to her storytelling, but my heart told me I was just being a jerk. Nearing the end of the book and adding everything up, I believe my gut was right.
The red flags were there, and I spent a fair amount of time convincing myself she was something she wasn’t. Bummer. Unfortunately, I believe she is just another entitled, politically bananas superstar.
The writing is iffy, the content, mediocre. I was hoping for better.
Basic.
