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, she chronicles her efforts to rebuild her life, and the slow road back to wholeness and health. In an industry 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 women and children around the globe. Over the course of these intimate hours, 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 business 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 talent and beauty, but for her candour 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.

Sharon Stone heeft al een zeer vol leven achter de rug. Een prachtig verhaal van een feministe die in haar denken de tijd vooruit was. Wel erg Amerikaans. Het lijkt vaak of ze opschept maar ze is een buitengewoon getalenteerd en krachtig mens, ze hoeft zich niet klein te maken, het is haar ongecensureerde levensverhaal met veel lows en highs! Ik blijf in verwondering achter!

Veel persoonlijke verhalen. Hier en daar wat films en heel, maar dan ook heel veel brekende stem geluiden. Ze is erg emo en omdat het boek steeks heen en weer vliegt in de tijd maakt dat het geheel wat onsamenhangend.
