"La causa principal de los problemas son las soluciones". - Eric Sevareid "Cada situación, sin importar cuán compleja parezca inicialmente, es extremadamente simple". - Eli Goldratt En 2018 asistí a un curso de capacitación en París que cambió fundamentalmente mi perspectiva. Este fue el curso de seis días de H. William (Bill) Dettmer sobre el Proceso de pensamiento lógico, una metodología excepcionalmente poderosa para la definición de estrategias y la resolución de problemas, basada en los métodos del Dr. Eli Goldratt, autor de The Goal y la leyenda de la administración de sistemas, adaptado y refinado por Bill Dettmer. Hacia el final del curso me di cuenta de cómo dominar esta metodología rigurosa cambia la forma en que abordas situaciones de cualquier tipo. Le ayuda a lidiar con situaciones difíciles de una manera que pocas o ninguna otra metodología puede lograr. Logre resultados innovadores descifrando la causalidad compleja, desenterrando supuestos falsos y eliminando los conflictos causados por modelos mentales defectuosos; esto es lo que nos ayuda a hacer el Proceso de Pensamiento Lógico, utilizando la lógica clásica de causa-efecto. En este libro, se usa un ejemplo simple y cotidiano para demostrar cómo aplicar el Proceso de pensamiento lógico y cómo nos ayuda a impulsar el éxito al tomar decisiones más sólidas y racionales. El libro también contiene ejemplos prácticos de organización y una descripción general concisa del marco.

Hall’s story is a surprising one: she began her life in the United States with a mother who wished for the perfect debutante. Hall, however, was more comfortable studying languages, and found herself living abroad and working for the State Department when she lost half her leg in a hunting accident. This setback didn’t slow down Hall at all: she named her wooden prosthetic Cuthbert, drove ambulances in France, and was recruited by a recently formed SOE as a spy in occupied France. Hall posed as a newspaper reporter, enlisting civilians for the French Resistance and establishing an underground network of allies and becoming one of the most important spies during World War II. Purnell does an amazing job bringing Hall’s exploits to life and has crafted a gripping and cinematic biography for an unsung hero of wartime espionage. --Alison WalkerOpinión:Praise for A Woman of No Importance:"[An] excellent biography... if Virginia Hall herself remains something of an enigma — a testament, perhaps, to the skills that allowed her to live in the shadows for so long — the extraordinary facts of her life are brought onto the page here with a well-judged balance of empathy and fine detail. This book is as riveting as any thriller, and as hard to put down" -- The New York Times Book Opinión:“[A] compelling saga of a remarkable woman whose persistence was honed early on by her battles against low gender expectations and later on by her disability.” – USA Today"A gripping take… a compelling biography of a masterful spy, and a reminder of what can be done with a few brave people — and a little resistance.” -- NPR.org“Never have I read anything like it. Every page is compelling and demands not just to be read, but absorbed. Every act reflects incredible bravery. This is what heroism looks like…Sonia Purnell has ensured Virginia Hall’s place in that great pantheon.” --FOX News"Electrifying" — Smithsonian.com“A fitting and moving tribute to an amazing woman.” – The Economist"Reads like a detailed novel… Purnell’s fascinating book supports her description of Hall’s life as a ‘Homeric tale of adventure, action, and seemingly unfathomable courage." — The Columbus Dispatch "Sonia Purnell has written a riveting account of Hall’s work as a ferociously courageous American spy… [she] writes with compelling energy and fine detail." — The Minneapolis Star-Tribune“Purnell’s writing is as precise and engaging as her research, and this book restores overdue attention to one of the world’s great war heroes. It’s a joy to read, and it will swell readers' hearts with pride.” — Booklist, Starred Opinión:“A groundbreaking biography that reads like a spy thriller…a suspenseful, heartbreaking and ultimately triumphant tale of heroism and sacrifice.” — BookPage, Starred Opinión:“Purnell vividly resurrects an underappreciated hero and delivers an enthralling story of wartime intrigue…fans of WWII history and women’s history will be riveted.” — Publishers Weekly“A remarkable chronicle...this lively examination…shows how, if Hall had been a man, dropping undercover in and out of occupied Vichy, Paris, and Lyon, setting up safe houses, and coordinating couriers for the Resistance, she would now be as famous as James Bond…Meticulous research results in a significant biography of a trailblazer who now has a CIA building named after her.” –Kirkus“Impressively researched and compellingly written, this brilliant biography puts Virginia Hall−and her prosthetic leg, Cuthbert−back where they belong : right in the heart of Resistance history.” — Clare Mulley, author of The Women Who Flew for Hitler: A True Story of Soaring Ambition and Searing Rivalry “In this astonishing, intriguing book, Sonia Purnell presents one of the most breathtaking stories yet told of female courage behind enemy lines. Its strength lies not only in Purnell’s intimate and moving portrayal of Virginia’s secret work, but also in the new light shed on the betrayal, bravery, and bungling of Churchill’s Special Operations Executive for which Virginia worked.” — Sarah Helm, author of Ravensbrück: Life and Death in Hitler’s Concentration Camp for Women “What a fascinating story! Sonia Purnell skillfully takes you deep into the covert operations Virginia Hall led in Nazi-occupied France. Readers will find this tale of her cunning and courage riveting.” — Douglas Waller, author of Wild Bill Donovan: The Spymaster Who Created the OSS and Modern American EspionageSobre el autor:Sonia Purnell is a biographer and journalist who has worked at The Economist, The Telegraph, and The Sunday Times. Her book Clementine: The Life of Mrs. Winston Churchill (published as First Lady in the UK) was chosen as a book of the year by The Telegraph and The Independent, and was a finalist for the Plutarch Award. Her first book, Just Boris, was longlisted for the Orwell prize.

Hillenbrand has given us a new national treasure.”— Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run “Riveting . . . an exceptional portrait . . .
