No. None of Shakespeare's plays are in any way based on his life. They can almost all be traced to some previous book where he got the story. The ones that cannot are fantasy stories involving a lot of magic. It is probably fair to say that he did not experience having anyone he knew be turned into a donkey.
Some people argue that Shakespeare's sonnets reflect events in his life; although this may be plausible, we just don't know enough of the details of his personal life to make any guesses as to what the connection, if there is one, might be.
However, neither the plays or the sonnets are really "books" in any sense. The sonnets were individual poems he passed around to his friends, and which someone collected and published, while the plays were written with the intention that nobody should be able to get a written copy. They wanted people to pay money to come and watch the plays, not to read them.
The only "books" Shakespeare wrote intending that they should be published and sold and read by people were actually his long poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, both of which are well-established Classical Roman stories which have nothing to do with Shakespeare's life.
