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.

Alexander The Great: The Macedonian Who Conquered The World
Ah, what to say? You remember when your mother told you "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all"
Well, if you like books that are adverts for self-help books that seek to combine what Alexander did with "drive is the key to all success" & like C.
21st psycho-babble about being all you can be, you will love this, as you'll learn in 195 pages (minus the stuff about Michael Jordan & the adverts selling a different book) that everything Alexander did was successful because he had "inner belief & drive". If you like books like that, get this. If you like accurate biographies that don't super-impose C.21st morality/ethos on to C. 3rd BCE historical figures avoid this like the plague!
