Publisher Description

The lives of Hannibal and his Roman enemies are the stuff of legend. But these classic stories contain truths with relevance today: The seeds of our successes lie in our failures, and within our successes are the kernels of our failure. Knowing how to recognize these paradoxes will help us to be more effective at work, at school, at home, and with others.

A big new idea book that springs from ancient history, Hannibal and Me explores these exciting ideas by analyzing the experiences of Hannibal and others who made their mark on history. By turns a riveting adventure tale, a compelling human drama, and an insightful guide to understanding behavior, this is essential listening for successful people and for those who seek to transform misfortune into success.

"Brilliant book that tells the complex story of what it means to win and still lose as well as losing your way into victory. The Hero's journey is far more complex than we think and nothing -- neither victory or defeat -- is what it seems. Though to be fair the Romans did get their asses kicked."
— Chris (5 out of 5 stars)
