Reseñas de la Crítica

"Realistic and timely, Kluth's book uses historic truths to move us past the frequent traps of success and failure to mold practical, productive lives." ( Publishers Weekly)

Entertaining while making you think

I loved the rich historical stories and the many mini biographies from different eras. He looks past the individual accomplishment or defeat to judge success or failure of a person over a lifetime. Like statistics he drew his teachings from these stories while someone else could draw other conclusions. Overall highly recommended audio that looks at your own and famous peoples accomplishments in a different light. Entertaining while making you think.

Greatest practical history book

This book takes timeless classic historical takes of Hannibal and Scipio along with biographical takes of dozens of other great leaders and distills their stories into concise, practical guides to start living a better and more interesting life today. Most read, and reread every year or so. This is a hidden gem

entertaining and thought provoking.

As a HS history and psychology teacher this was an incredible combination that had great tie into current beliefs and trends.

Hannibal can teach us a lot!

History should repeat itself! There is much to learn from all of our ancestors that have gone before.

Awesome

Honestly the value in this book is immense. I can honestly say that this book can save someone’s life which would have otherwise been wasted. Recommend strongly!
