PARIS
THE MEMOIR
PARIS HILTON
Disponibilidad:
u003cpu003eFrom the woman who is credited for launching what we know as the celebrity focused, "brand" driven, social media obsessed popular culture of today, comes an honest and surprising memoir that reckons with that truth, and shows that there is so much more to Paris Hilton than you might believe.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eI was born in New York City on February 17, 1981, three days after Valentine's Day. u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eFrom the time I was a toddler, my brain skipped and flickered with the chemical imbalance of ADHD. Sometimes it was too much.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eI'm not bragging or complaining about it, just telling you: This is my brain. It has a lot to do with how this whole book thing is going to play out, because I love run-on sentences--and dashes. And sentence fragments. I'm probably going to jump around a lot while I tell the story.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eI came of age during the most turbulent pop culture period ever.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eThe character I played--part Lucy, part Marilyn--was my steel-plated armor.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003ePeople loved her. Or they loved to hate her, which was just as marketable. I leaned into that character, my ticket to financial freedom and a safe place to hide. I made sure I never had a quiet moment to figure out who I was without her. I was afraid of that moment because I didn't know what I'd find.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eI wrote this book in an effort to understand my place in a watershed moment: the technology renaissance, the age of influencers. I also wrote this book so that the world could know who I am today. I focused on key aspects of my life that led to what I am most proud of--how my power was taken away from me and how I took it back, how I built a thriving business, a marriage and a family.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eThere are so many young women who need to hear this story. I don't want them to learn from my mistakes; I want them to stop hating themselves for their own mistakes. I want them to laugh and cry and embrace every aspect of who they are with fearlessness and pride. We all have our own brand of intelligence, and, girl, fuck fitting in.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eParis Hilton is the world's most recognizable influencer, defining and dominating pop culture for over two decades. She has built a multibillion-dollar global empire as an entrepreneur, tech pioneer, DJ, recording artist, and philanthropist. In 2021, Paris launched 11:11 Media, a next-gen company at the center of pop culture- connecting content, commerce, and community. Her proudest achievement is her continuing impact as an advocate and activist dedicated to empowering and elevating young women and girls, including spearheading meaningful legislative changes in the troubled-teen industry. She lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003e"One of the world's most recognizable personalities delivers a memoir with surprising depth and purpose... The most impressive thing about this memoir is the gracious and compassionate eye with which Hilton views her past. Unlike many other similar stories, there is no tone of self-pity or martyrdom. Delivering a masterclass in owning your own story, Hilton shows how to live with purpose, compassion, and beauty." -Kirkus, starred reviewu003c/pu003eu003cpu003e"Hilton's memoir is perfectly poised as society starts to reflect on how we treated young women in the early 2000s. An unputdownable reckoning for anyone who lived through that time." -Booklist, starred reviewu003c/pu003eu003cpu003e"Revealing... Affecting and triumphant, this is a must-read." -Publisher's Weeklyu003c/pu003e
