History
The Greek Revival building was constructed in 1832. By 1862, the Boston City Directory listed Adrien Destre as operating a restaurant at 2 Winter Place. By 1868, F.A. Blanc was listed as running the restaurant. By 1879, Boston city records listed Luis Ober as the proprietor of a restaurant at 2 Winter Place of "over twenty years' standing". From the start, the restaurant specialized in French food and was central to the financial, political, and intellectual history of Boston.
Advertisement for "the French Hotel and Restaurant," 2 Winter Place, Louis P. Ober, proprietor, 1871
Louis Ober was born in 1837 in the French department of Alsace. At age fourteen Ober moved to New York, working as a barber, book seller and importing and exporting goods between the United States and France. Ober lived and worked in New Jersey, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia, before settling in Boston. Ober was employed at the restaurant then owned and operated by Blanc. While in Blanc's employ, Ober became familiar with French food, fine wine and furnishings. By 1875, Ober had acquired ownership and applied to the city for expansion of the restaurant to 3-4 Winter Place. Financing was provided by Eben Jordan, a co-founder of the Jordan Marsh Company. The restaurant reopened as Ober's Restaurant Parisien.
Over the next 20 years the restaurant was expanded and became furnished with increasingly luxurious imported materials typical of the Gilded Age, including Honduran mahogany, French furniture, Italian and French sculpture and paintings, English silver and Bohemian crystal lighting. Until 1970 the restaurant was open to males only.
By the late twentieth century, Locke-Ober - though still possessing most of its original grand trappings - had lost much of its popularity. Boston restaurateur Lydia Shire, with investor Paul Licari, leased the space in 2001 and began a painstaking restoration of the main and private dining rooms on the third floor, adding two more contemporary rooms. Jacky Robert was executive chef until 2003. Nonetheless, the restaurant closed in 2012, with reports that the owners planned to sell the building.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The location is now occupied by Yvonne's.
The restaurant was the setting of the opening scene in Robert B. Parker's 1980 Spenser novel Looking for Rachel Wallace. It was also the setting of the denouement of Death in a Tenured Position (also published as A Death in the Faculty) by Amanda Cross published in 1981. The detective, Kate Fansler, is taken there by the lawyer, John Cunningham, at which she presents to him her solution to the mystery. Cunningham claims Fansler only likes the restaurant because it used not to admit women; she denies this, saying she is attracted by the creamed spinach and the waiters who tended to be 'deaf and placating'. It was also the restaurant that Professor Lambeau took Robin Williams' character, Sean, to in an attempt to convince him to work with the main protagonist in Good Will Hunting.

The Success Principles is a must have in any "success" book home library...
Format: Paperback
I read the first version of The Success Principles back in 2009 and I honestly felt like I came across one of the best and most complete resources for success (and really life) I have ever read. I was even more thrilled when I discovered there was The Success Principles for Teens because finding effective ways to teach these life tools and techniques to my daughters has always been a top priority, and challenge. My oldest daughter has not only read it, she has even referred back to some of the principles when I obviously break them :).
I had all but forgotten pre-ordering this updated version of The Success Principles until I got the surprise package in the mail today. All of the core content in this version is still there, but what was exciting to read were the new success stories included of people that bought the original book and had breakthroughs.
The completely new content included is "Success in the Digital Age" and it is a fantastic resource. I would consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to technology and Internet Marketing (having worked as a Sr. System Engineer for over a decade and years learning and implementing various Internet Marketing solutions), and I can say this addition is fantastic. The content and advice he managed to include in just five chapters is impressive, and spot on. If topics like social media, technology, and online branding are areas that are a weakness, or you want to learn more about the most effective ways to leverage these and other technical solutions used by some of the most successful leaders in this space, than you will love this addition to the book.
I will end this review by saying I am life coach, and resources like these are gold. I am constantly referring back to this text before and after sessions. I am a huge fan of countless self-help experts and bestselling authors, and I have a huge list of books I love and regularly recommend, but none are such a complete resource like this book. As one of the "experts" in this space said about this book, trying to just identify the "big ideas" included in this book is virtually impossible, because everything he includes IS a "big idea." So if you are a fan of this type of content this is a must have in your library, if only for a reference.

Success Principles is a handbook you definitely want to carry with you.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Many of us are looking for ways to improve our lives, our relationships, and our business. We read books, take training and hire coaches. And these things work.
Whether you are new in your quest to self improvement, or a seasoned veteran, the Success Principles is one of the “must read” handbooks you want to read, apply and keep at your side. It contains 67 principles described in a concise, simple to understand entertaining way. Each of these principles by itself is certain to bring positive change in different aspects in your life. As a group they are certain to move your life forward.
You will learn how to improve your relationships by listening and asking for feedback. You will learn to focus on those things that truly matter and let go of the good to leave time and resources for the great. You will learn ways to take care of yourself, put yourself in touch with your thoughts and your emotions, and slow your mind down so that you can be creative, concentrate and work more effectively. You will learn ways to communicate with others, to tap into “masterminds”, to ask for what you need, to overcome resistance, obstacles and fears and to move forward.
I am a fan of the Success Principles and Jack Canfield's work. Everything contained in this book is taught in his seminars. Powerful yet simple techniques.
Buy the book. Read it. And then, every few days concentrate on bringing one of the principles into your life. Sit back and enjoy the results.

Solid Advice & Inspiration for Anyone Looking to Reach their Goals!
Format: Paperback
Overall, I enjoyed reading The Success Principles and found most of the practical advice to be solid and inspirational. I especially liked the discussions about using vision boards, mastermind groups, and other practical techniques. I found many other suggestions to be helpful, but common knowledge (e.g.., setting goals, thinking positive, find a mentor, and the 80/20 principle). My only complaints about this book including being WAY too wordy at 550 pages (should have been half that length!) and the occasional reference to something odd called the Law of Attraction (which is sounds to me like some kind of "new age theory"... I don't buy it). Regardless of those downsides, I still think this book is worth the read for anyone looking for a self-help book that motivates you and gives you practical tools to reach your goals.

The Bible of Self-Improvement
Format: Kindle
First, let's get something out of the way... which version to buy.
I ordered my copy on launch day and after dealing with 48 hours of anxiety waiting for it to show up, I couldn't take it any longer and ordered the Kindle version as well. Bottom line... You need them both. One to have right away and always with you, and the book itself to markup, highlight, write in the margins and run through the ringer.
Everything in the 2005 release is here, but there's more... so much more.
Updated stories from people who have implemented The Success Principles, where they started, and where they are today will keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat. You won't be able to put this book down (but you really have to so you can implement). It is written with the mastery of a thriller novel, yet finessed ever so finely so that you not only learn the principles, but implement them.
The new section, "Success in the Digital Age" fills a desperate void. We are overloaded with information, new technology and social media platforms. Most people are guilty of these being replacements for other time-wasting activities but fail to monetize and take advantage of them. Jack clearly lays out how to do it, instead of the digital age controlling you.
I've been on pins and needles waiting for the Tenth Anniversary Edition (even though I read the first version 7 times). It is everything you could ask for (and more) in a self-help book. Ordered ten more copies to give as gifts (and so that at least one is always in my office).
Congratulations on a job extremely well done. No stone was left unturned.
