It’s also essential to our liberty, because if a society can’t govern itself, then government must step in to police our decisions and actions. Sounds pretty heavy, right?

And here’s even better news: this book gives us flesh-and-blood models—men and women whose choices and actions make them heroes. The forty people Lawrence W. Reed profiles in this accessible, inspirational book are not the usual examples. Some are well-known historical and cultural figures, yes—but Real Heroes also features many remarkable people you have never heard of. Reed ranges far and wide—from the distant past to the present; from the United States, to Europe, to Asia; from statesmen to scientists, athletes to inventors, entrepreneurs to theologians, and writers to teachers. Concise and compelling, Real Heroes features a bulleted summary of key facts and takeaways at the end of each profile. This book will become a treasured resource for parents and teachers and a favorite of readers of all ages.

Download or read book What Makes a Hero written by Elizabeth Svoboda and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining investigation into the biology and psychology of why we sacrifice for other people Researchers are now applying the lens of science to study heroism for the first time. How do biology, upbringing, and outside influences intersect to produce altruistic and heroic behavior? And how can we encourage this behavior in corporations, classrooms, and individuals? Using dozens of fascinating real-life examples, Elizabeth Svoboda explains how our genes compel us to do good for others, how going through suffering is linked to altruism, and how acting heroic can greatly improve your mental health. She also reveals the concrete things we can do to encourage our most heroic selves to step forward. It’s a common misconception that heroes are heroic just because they’re innately predisposed to be that way. Svoboda shows why it’s not simply a matter of biological hardwiring and how anyone can be a hero if they're committed to developing their heroic potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personality: The Real Hero Within, is not a book meant to reinforce our pre-existing notions about personality, rather it is a book that questions some of our basic assumptions regarding 'Personality' and Personality Development'. Acharya Prashant, the author of several other master works like Book of Myths, Advait in Everyday Life, The Lover You Have Been Missing, etc., presents, in this particular book, an utterly fresh and unprecedented definition of Personality. He does so by raising some pertinent questions like: 1. What exactly is Personality, and how is it different from Individuality? 2. Does Personality Development, an almost global cultural obsession today, mean wearing a mask? 3. Is it possible to live an authentic life and yet have a good personality? Speaking to an audience obsessed with 'Personality Development,' he presents them with a path breaking and radical definition of Personality as he declares, "Let personality be the manifestation of your essence."
