So, you want to be a Hero: Black and White Edition

by Alan Knott-Craig, Carel de Beer, Alan Knott-Craig

Nowadays it feels that there's something wrong with being a hero, acting heroically and celebrating heroes. It seems there are no more noble heroes, no more role models. But it wasn't always this way. The ancient Greek philosopher, Plutarch, believed that having heroic role models was the most important goal of society. This book tries to distil the wisdom of many heroes of the past & present in the form of rules, guides, letters and quotes. Whether you're looking to get a job, take your career to the next level, start a business, or simply become a better person, perhaps this read can nudge you in the right direction. So, what are you waiting for? Don't you want to be a Hero? "A book that will help many people improve their lives." Byron Wein, vice chairman of Blackstone Advisory Partners "A treasure trove of insight, wisdom and wit. Read it slowly, think about it, then read it again. You will find what you are looking for." Michael Jordaan, Former CEO of of First National Bank
