"El poder de TU historia gathers stories that reflect different facets of human nature," said Sardinas. "In the book I tell the story of a woman who called to tell me her ex had chopped off four of her fingers. I also recount other stories that have made me rethink how I prioritize things, like when I postponed calling a listener, and when I found the time, death had beat me to it," he concluded. The difficult alternates with the humorous in chapters such as the one where Alberto acknowledges suffering the most embarrassing experience of his life in front of 15,000 people, as well as those in which he relates lessons he learned through celebrities.

The forty short stories that constitute this book break beyond the trite boundaries of the common anecdote collection because each one emphasizes the lesson learned and offers a space for reflection. "There is nothing that brings us together as human beings, and specially as Latinos, that is more powerful than those memorable experiences that leave us key lessons," said Sardinas, whose inspiration to write came from the candidness of his listeners. "If people share their personal stories with me, why wouldn't I talk about mine?" he said.

El poder de TU historia is a conversation with that one true friend we all long for. It is also a resource we can rely on during our path through life, an exchange of experiences that directs, strengthens, and helps us face the obstacles we must face daily, its pages seemingly emerging from life itself. Published by Aguilar, an imprint of Santillana USA Publishing, the book is available nationwide.
