Leadership Happens In The Wild

“I do not yet know of a man who became a leader as a result of having undergone a leadership course.” -Lee Kuan Yew

I’m a bit of a glutton for self help books. If you haven’t browsed the genre you’re missing out on the spike in dopamine behind every page. There’s nothing quite like the visions of grandeur that a thought provoking personal development can conjure.

Want to see yourself as a great leader? Read about it. Start a business? There’s a book for that. What about being in the best shape of your life? A steady diet of words and you will feel the difference.

The danger of the self help book is no matter how powerful the hallucination, reality remains the same. Great advice daydreamed is a waste.

You’ve read enough, go do the thing.
