The great German composer Ludwig van Beethoven went through a bad period of his life around the age of 32 because he had become totally deaf. Contemplating suicide, he wrote his will. But then he overcame his hearing problem, was recognized as one of the greatest composers of all time – he wrote nine unsurpassed symphonies – and became a celebrated member of Viennese society.

Napoleon provides another such example. During the years 1792 to 1809, he conquered almost all of Europe, was crowned Emperor of France, and lived a life full of greatness, triumph, and success. But then things changed: Napoleon lost everything he had achieved, was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo, and was eventually exiled to the remote island of St. Helena.

Those two examples of alternating seasons from good to bad and vice versa in the lives of famous people are not the only ones. Many more show the same alterations in the lives of famous people, as detailed in a book that I have written and that you will see below. However, it is more important that the celebrity seasons alternate from good to bad and vice versa according to a certain pattern. A good season gives way to a bad one at a given time, a bad season gives way to a good one at a given time, and so on. In the book I explain that pattern in detail.

The existence of that pattern radically transforms the way we all live today and helps us live a much better life. By the time you have finished reading the book, you will be able to know whether the years to come are good or bad for you, and how long this season will last. So you can act accordingly: if there is a storm on the horizon, you will take shelter in time; If sunny days are coming, you will seize it before the opportunity passes. In short, you will be able to make crucial decisions regarding your career, marriage, family, relationships, and all other problems in life.

You will see, among other things, why you should not be carried away by despair and pessimism when you are in a bad season, fearing that this season will never end. Winston Churchill, for example, failed his exams in school over and over again when he was having a bad season in his life, and at one point in another of his bad seasons he said, “I’m done, I’m done.” But then he became prime minister of his country.

You will also see why you can dare when you are in a good season: fate is with you. Christopher Columbus, for example, managed to discover the New World because he was in a good time in his life, despite the fact that almost everyone, including the Spanish royal council, was skeptical and had rejected his idea.

There are many other benefits to be derived from the alternating pattern of the seasons in the lives of famous people, as you will see in detail in the book.
