Overview
La confianza en uno mismo es el primer paso hacia el éxito.
Samuel Smiles escribió Autoayuda en 1859 como la guía más completa para lograr una vida plena, y de inmediato se convirtió en un fenómeno de ventas, con más de dos millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo. Considerada por muchos la primera obra de crecimiento personal de a historia, este libro recoge la esencia del pensamiento victoriano y liberal, cuya influencia ha perdurado hasta nuestros días.
A lo largo de sus páginas, Samuel Smiles desarrolla los principios para alcanzar todo nuestro potencial. A través del ejemplo de personajes históricos de distintos ámbitos, nos muestra la importancia de trabajar duro y ser perseverante en cualquier campo si queremos aspirar a llegar lejos.
Una enseñanza que, aún hoy en día, mantiene toda su vigencia. Porque, en el fondo, el verdadero éxito no es acumular riquezas, sino aportar valor en el mundo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A bestseller immediately after its publication in 1859, Self-Help propelled its author to fame and rapidly became one of Victorian Britain's most important statements on the allied virtues of hard work, thrift, and perseverance. Interpreted by some as a paean to personal avarice, Smiles's most celebrated book is in fact a practical and engaging tribute to the working- and lower-middle classes, in whom he identified the capacity for self-improvement and for whom he tirelessly advocated the right of social advancement.
Part practical guide, part proverbial testament, part secular hagiography, this literary hybrid turns biography into an inspirational medium that awakens the reader to their own potential and instills the desire to succeed. Smiles's book is the precursor of today's motivational and self-help literature, although its vision is significantly more cosmopolitan than that of most books in an ever-expanding genre.
