Publisher Description
A la edad de veinte a├▒os y despu├®s de haber salido de la Marina, Chris Gardner, lleg├│ a San Francisco para continuar una carrera prometedora en la medicina. Considerado un hijo prodigio de la investigaci├│n cient├¡fica, sorprendi├│ a todos y a s├¡ mismo estableciendo su punto de vista en el competitivo mundo de las finanzas. Sin embargo, apenas hab├¡a entrado a una posici├│n de gran nivel en una empresa de prestigio, Gardner se encontr├│ atrapado en una red de circunstancias incre├¡blemente dif├¡ciles que lo dejaron como parte de los ciudadanos sin hogar y con un hijo peque├▒o. Motivado por la promesa que se hizo a s├¡ mismo de nunca abandonar a sus propios hijos, los dos pasaron casi un a├▒o movi├®ndose entre refugios, moteles, comedores p├║blicos, e incluso dormir en el ba├▒o p├║blico de una estaci├│n de metro. Gardner nunca cedi├│ ante la desesperaci├│n e hizo una transformaci├│n asombrosa pasando de ser parte de la ciudad pobre e invisible a convertirse en un miembro de gran influencia en su ├írea financiera. M├ís que un libro de memorias del ├®xito financiero de Gardner, esta es la historia de un hombre que rompi├│ el ciclo de su propia familia en contraste con hombres que abandonan a sus hijos. Legendario, triunfante e incre├¡blemente honesto, este libro evoca a h├®roes como Horatio Alger y Antwone Fishe, y apela a la esencia del sue├▒o americano.
