272 pages, 2018
A compact, profoundly inspiring book that captures the spirit of Nelson Mandela, distilling the South African leader’s wisdom into 15 vital life lessons. We long for heroes and have few. Now Richard Stengel, who edited Time magazine and traveled with Mandela everywhere, has distilled countless hours of intimate conversation with Mandela into fifteen essential life lessons.
For nearly three years, including the critical period when Mandela moved South Africa toward the first democratic elections in its history, Stengel collaborated with Mandela on his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom.
In Mandela's Way, Richard Stengel explores the courage of Nelson Mandela. He shows us that courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to rise above it. Mandela faced his fears head-on and used them as a tool to fight for justice. This book encourages us to face our own fears and use them to drive us forward.
Stengel digs into Mandela's ability to forgive, even those who imprisoned him for 27 years. He teaches us that holding onto anger and resentment only harms us, not the person we're angry at. By forgiving, we free ourselves from the chains of the past and open up a path to a brighter future.
Mandela's Way shows us that Mandela led with love, not hate. He believed in the power of love to heal and unite, even in the face of adversity. This book encourages us to lead with love in our own lives, to create a more compassionate and understanding world.
Richard Stengel explores Mandela's humility in his book. Despite his status and power, Mandela remained humble and always put the needs of others before his own. This book encourages us to practice humility in our own lives, to stay grounded and remember that we're no better or worse than anyone else.
In Mandela's Way, we see how Mandela's perseverance helped him overcome incredible obstacles. He never gave up, no matter how difficult the journey. This book encourages us to persevere in our own lives, to keep going even when the going gets tough, because that's when we truly grow.
