La épica y emocionante historia de una mujer cuya vida abarca los momentos históricos más relevantes del siglo XX. Desde 1920 -con la llamada «gripe española»- hasta la pandemia de 2020, la vida de Violeta será mucho más que la historia de un siglo.Violeta viene al mundo un tormentoso día de 1920, siendo la primera niña de una familia de cinco bulliciosos hermanos. Desde el principio su vida estará marcada por acontecimientos extraordinarios, pues todavía se sienten las ondas expansivas de la Gran Guerra cuando la gripe española llega a las orillas de su país sudamericano natal, casi en el momento exacto de su nacimiento. Gracias a la clarividencia del padre, la familia saldrá indemne de esta crisis para darse de bruces con una nueva, cuando la Gran Depresión altera la elegante vida urbana que Violeta ha conocido hasta ahora. Su familia lo perderá todo y se verá obligada a retirarse a una región salvaje y remota del país. Allí Violeta alcanzará la mayoría de edad y tendrá su primer pretendiente... En una carta dirigida a una persona a la que ama por encima de todas las demás, Violeta rememora devastadores desengaños amorosos y romances apasionados, momentos de pobreza y también de prosperidad, pérdidas terribles e inmensas alegrías. Moldearán su vida algunos de los grandes sucesos de la historia: la lucha por los derechos de la mujer, el auge y caída de tiranos y, en última instancia, no una, sino dos pandemias. Vista con los ojos de una mujer poseedora de una pasión, una determinación y un sentido del humor inolvidables que la sostienen a lo largo de una vida turbulenta, Isabel Allende nos regala, una vez más, una historia épica furiosamente inspiradora y profundamente emotiva. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This sweeping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea tells the epic story of Violeta del Valle, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century. Violeta comes into the world on a stormy day in 1920, the first girl in a family of five boisterous sons. From the start, her life will be marked by extraordinary events, for the ripples of the Great War are still being felt, even as the Spanish flu arrives on the shores of her South American homeland almost at the moment of her birth. Through her father's prescience, the family will come through that crisis unscathed, only to face a new one as the Great Depression transforms the genteel city life she has known. Her family loses all and is forced to retreat to a wild and beautiful but remote part of the country. There, she will come of age, and her first suitor will come calling... She tells her story in the form of a letter to someone she loves above all others, recounting devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, times of both poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life will be shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women's rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and, ultimately, not one but two pandemics. Told through the eyes of a woman whose unforgettable passion, determination, and sense of humor will carry her through a lifetime of upheaval, Isabel Allende once more brings us an epic that is both fiercely inspiring and deeply emotional.

The Success Principles is a must have in any "success" book home library...
Format: Paperback
I read the first version of The Success Principles back in 2009 and I honestly felt like I came across one of the best and most complete resources for success (and really life) I have ever read. I was even more thrilled when I discovered there was The Success Principles for Teens because finding effective ways to teach these life tools and techniques to my daughters has always been a top priority, and challenge. My oldest daughter has not only read it, she has even referred back to some of the principles when I obviously break them :).
I had all but forgotten pre-ordering this updated version of The Success Principles until I got the surprise package in the mail today. All of the core content in this version is still there, but what was exciting to read were the new success stories included of people that bought the original book and had breakthroughs.
The completely new content included is "Success in the Digital Age" and it is a fantastic resource. I would consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to technology and Internet Marketing (having worked as a Sr. System Engineer for over a decade and years learning and implementing various Internet Marketing solutions), and I can say this addition is fantastic. The content and advice he managed to include in just five chapters is impressive, and spot on. If topics like social media, technology, and online branding are areas that are a weakness, or you want to learn more about the most effective ways to leverage these and other technical solutions used by some of the most successful leaders in this space, than you will love this addition to the book.
I will end this review by saying I am life coach, and resources like these are gold. I am constantly referring back to this text before and after sessions. I am a huge fan of countless self-help experts and bestselling authors, and I have a huge list of books I love and regularly recommend, but none are such a complete resource like this book. As one of the "experts" in this space said about this book, trying to just identify the "big ideas" included in this book is virtually impossible, because everything he includes IS a "big idea." So if you are a fan of this type of content this is a must have in your library, if only for a reference.

Success Principles is a handbook you definitely want to carry with you.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Many of us are looking for ways to improve our lives, our relationships, and our business. We read books, take training and hire coaches. And these things work.
Whether you are new in your quest to self improvement, or a seasoned veteran, the Success Principles is one of the “must read” handbooks you want to read, apply and keep at your side. It contains 67 principles described in a concise, simple to understand entertaining way. Each of these principles by itself is certain to bring positive change in different aspects in your life. As a group they are certain to move your life forward.
You will learn how to improve your relationships by listening and asking for feedback. You will learn to focus on those things that truly matter and let go of the good to leave time and resources for the great. You will learn ways to take care of yourself, put yourself in touch with your thoughts and your emotions, and slow your mind down so that you can be creative, concentrate and work more effectively. You will learn ways to communicate with others, to tap into “masterminds”, to ask for what you need, to overcome resistance, obstacles and fears and to move forward.
I am a fan of the Success Principles and Jack Canfield's work. Everything contained in this book is taught in his seminars. Powerful yet simple techniques.
Buy the book. Read it. And then, every few days concentrate on bringing one of the principles into your life. Sit back and enjoy the results.

Solid Advice & Inspiration for Anyone Looking to Reach their Goals!
Format: Paperback
Overall, I enjoyed reading The Success Principles and found most of the practical advice to be solid and inspirational. I especially liked the discussions about using vision boards, mastermind groups, and other practical techniques. I found many other suggestions to be helpful, but common knowledge (e.g.., setting goals, thinking positive, find a mentor, and the 80/20 principle). My only complaints about this book including being WAY too wordy at 550 pages (should have been half that length!) and the occasional reference to something odd called the Law of Attraction (which is sounds to me like some kind of "new age theory"... I don't buy it). Regardless of those downsides, I still think this book is worth the read for anyone looking for a self-help book that motivates you and gives you practical tools to reach your goals.

The Bible of Self-Improvement
Format: Kindle
First, let's get something out of the way... which version to buy.
I ordered my copy on launch day and after dealing with 48 hours of anxiety waiting for it to show up, I couldn't take it any longer and ordered the Kindle version as well. Bottom line... You need them both. One to have right away and always with you, and the book itself to markup, highlight, write in the margins and run through the ringer.
Everything in the 2005 release is here, but there's more... so much more.
Updated stories from people who have implemented The Success Principles, where they started, and where they are today will keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat. You won't be able to put this book down (but you really have to so you can implement). It is written with the mastery of a thriller novel, yet finessed ever so finely so that you not only learn the principles, but implement them.
The new section, "Success in the Digital Age" fills a desperate void. We are overloaded with information, new technology and social media platforms. Most people are guilty of these being replacements for other time-wasting activities but fail to monetize and take advantage of them. Jack clearly lays out how to do it, instead of the digital age controlling you.
I've been on pins and needles waiting for the Tenth Anniversary Edition (even though I read the first version 7 times). It is everything you could ask for (and more) in a self-help book. Ordered ten more copies to give as gifts (and so that at least one is always in my office).
Congratulations on a job extremely well done. No stone was left unturned.
