Based on his highly popular Columbia Business School course “Personal Leadership & Success”, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa shares key principles for how to pursue success by letting your true self shine through in everything you do.

In our pursuit of success, we often struggle to balance the world’s demands with our own dreams. Some of us pursue Outer Success, wanting to be liked and loved, supported and promoted. But in our quest for worldly glory, we may ignore the subtle stirring of our spirit, waking up one day to realize just how far we have drifted from our personal ideals. Others among us seek Inner Success, wanting the freedom to pursue our own calling. But in our quest to be true to ourselves, we may end up hurting, disappointing, or antagonizing others, straining relationships and being sidelined.

It seems that our drives for Outer and Inner Success are destined to clash. But perhaps that’s only because we’ve been searching for success in the wrong places. We can pursue from the place where our greatest potential is held, our Inner Core, by activating Five Core Energies: Purpose, Wisdom, Growth, Love, and Self-Realization.

Through extensive scientific research and masterful storytelling about exemplary figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Theresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Nelson Mandela—and everyday heroes drawn from Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa’s class at Columbia Business School and client workshops at Mentora Institute—readers arrive at timeless principles of success in life and leadership. Empowered by your Five Core Energies, you discover how to create outer impact from a place of inner mastery.

With a PhD in Management Science from MIT and a lifelong study of the world’s mystic traditions, Wadhwa brings a mathematician’s rigor and a truth-seeker’s spirit to some of today’s most vexing questions about authenticity, success, leadership, and human potential. This book shows how by activating your Inner Core and expressing it in everything you do, you create the conditions where Inner Success and Outer Success can flourish in mutual harmony.

Profound Life Roadmap

Great book!

All leaders should read this book. This book has so many valuable insights that every human can utilize to improve not only their life but the lives around them.

A soulful passage

what I appreciate about this book is that it fuses so eloquently the inner and the outer work that we all must face in this world we live in. Stories and anecdotes woven throughout like the way for the path ahead. This book is filled with both inner and outer wisdom, and I highly recommend it.

Amazing book

One of the best books I’ve ever listened to, and I’ve listened to 100+. Very inspiring. 10/10 would recommend!

Incorporating higher learning in corporate life

In the Audio version I wish there was a way to revisit excerpts since many of the chapters had sub chapters and sub sub chapters.

Beyond business : a guide life and how to live it

Hitendra Wadhwa is the most inspiring Professor I have personally ever met. His work at Columbia and the Mentora Institute are insightful and inspiring. This book is a wonderfully presented and well thought out of the many leadership principles we see in so many business or leader ship books. But the habit of perspective, of looking inward for outer impact is a unique and fresh view. And it Hitendra weaves a beautiful narrative to not only shows a better path towards leadership but, more importantly, a better path to a better life. This may seem grandiose, and some may take the topic of religiosity or spirituality as preachy. But do not judge the book for heading in a spiritual direction. Even if you don’t believe we are spiritual creatures, it is worth hearing the way Hitendra talks about his own journey, and the journey of so many important historical figures, is masterful. I highly recommend.

Mostly motivating

Sometimes there is gap between the audio records.
Indian people know something about inner self.

Don’t miss this book!

Hitendra Wadwha did an excellent job by bringing together wisdom from many traditions. He literally seemed to tie together so many of the thought leaders I’ve read and grown to admire through my years. I will be buying this book for my grown children and for many other people I love. I will be listening to this annually at least and I recommend it without reservation for truth seekers and those who hope to learn to hear and trust their inner guide and live a more meaningful and transformative life. Well done, Dr Wadwha. With sincere gratitude.

Excellent
