Summary

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.

Courages

This life story is heart-warming, courageous and wrote and read from the depth of pain, joy and compassion. It’s not an entertainment piece. It’s an example how to live your life to the fullest despite that some don’t like it. Thank you, Sharon. A beautiful female narrator voice as well.

amazing woman with an incredible story

I always loved Sharon Stone, but after this book I admire her. the book is very easy to follow and with full of life stories of her. I had moments when I had to stop and cry. I had parts when I kept going back to listen to them again and again - giving me advice in my own life. Sharon Stone has such a pure heart and soul. Very human and sincere. one of the best women of this era.
