Prevail: How to Face Upheavals and Make Big Choices with the Help of Heroes (Unabridged‪)‬

Robert Klitgaard is a world-renowned advisor to governments and international organizations, as they face upheavals and make transformative decisions. Here he turns his attention to our "big choices". Moving across history, literature, philosophy, psychology, and everyday life, he shows how heroes can help us make transformative decisions about careers, romance, family, emigration, joining or leaving a religion or a political movement, and more. We see how to experiment with different callings, how to find and use big insights, and how to share and serve with compassion.

We all confront upheavals and big choices, especially in these times of pandemics, economic turmoil, and dehumanization. We seek ideas and inspiration, not formulas or condescension. Prevail is full of twists and surprises and fascinating characters. In a world of skim-milk self-help, this is a book to savor and come back to, again and again.
