Make Your Mark: Lessons in Character from Seven Presidents

Tracking seven U.S. presidents and some of their most remarkable character traits, especially under pressure, shows how things you learn as a child (discipline, resilience, patience) can compound exponentially when you end up in the U.S. presidency. It’s surprisingly readable and makes you think about leadership as temperament and incentive management (more EQ than IQ). Good for anyone who likes biographies but doesn’t want to read 800 pages.
