Hello. Welcome to another Five Minute Leader. One of the things that people have been asking me about is books that I am reading. I read a lot of books, not really business books. I read books around life, philosophy, politics—a wide variety of books. One of the ones that I recently finished is this one. It's called The Complete Man by Baltasar Gracián. It's probably one of the best books that I've ever read, and I'm actually reading his other book called The Art of Worldly Wisdom.
This is a book that really just tells you how to be a good person, how to live, how to exist in this world, how to succeed, and how to thrive. One of the quotes I wanted to read from here, because I think it's very relevant for how leaders, especially, can view situations and scenarios and opportunities and threats. I just want to read you this quick quote here, and then we can try to unpack this a little bit.
