About This Book
We all face upheavals — moments when the old maps no longer work and the stakes feel impossibly high. How do we choose well when everything is uncertain? In Prevail, Robert Klitgaard draws on the lives of history’s most compelling heroes — from literature, philosophy, history, and scripture — to illuminate how extraordinary people have faced impossible choices and emerged with their integrity intact. Part practical guide, part intellectual adventure, Prevail combines psychology, philosophy, and storytelling to help readers navigate their own defining moments. Available in hardback, paperback, and ebook.
Praise
“Too often, life is about getting by, avoiding hardship and upheaval. That is a missed opportunity. In Prevail, Robert Klitgaard masterfully lays out the hero’s path to ordinary greatness by seeing all of life as a calling. We all need this book.”
