Publisher Description
If you want to learn about one of history’s greatest military commanders and uncover some of his secrets of drive—drive that enabled him and his small army to first subdue all of Greece and then the mighty Persian Empire—then you want to read this book.
Some people like to think that geniuses are so inherently extraordinary that they navigate their journeys with clairvoyant ease.
This simply isn’t true.
Greatness does not come lightly. It requires that you make sacrifices of time, interests, and—sometimes—possessions. The further you move toward greatness, the more greatness demands from you.
But all barriers yield to one mythical quality: drive. The will to persist and overcome. To never give up. To never accept defeat.
Few stories better illustrate this better than the life of one of the most extraordinary warriors the world has even known; a man of legendary ambition, will, and grit: Alexander the Great.
In this book, you’ll be taken on a whirlwind journey through Alexander’s life and conquests, and not only learn about the successes and mistakes of one of history’s greatest conquerors, but also how to awaken a fire in your own life and adventures.
Read this book now and learn lessons from Alexander the Great on why drive is so vital to awakening your inner genius, and learn insights into the real power of purpose, how to defeat the insidious force of “Resistance” that holds us back, and more.
Customer Reviews
So much more than the title suggests!
I wanted to learn about Alexander the Great so I bought this and got much more than I bargained for.
Now I’m on to his Tesla book and the authors audio book about genius.
Thanks very much for some a stimulating read as well as the names of the remarkable people who I also searched the apple book store for.
The review link didn’t work so I did it as normal. Thanks again! Keep on writing
The author thinks he’s great
This is less a biography of Alexander the Great than it is an excuse for the author to try and convince us of his genius about genius and promote his book about genius. If you’re actually interested in Alexander, don’t bother.
Read this!
A fabulous easy quick read - written not in historical jargon but in contemporary language. Even better are the insights at the end that draw on the specific attributes of Alexander the Great that ultimately led to his amazing exploits. These insights really 'spoke to me' and have inspired me. Thank you!!
