About this eBook

If you want to learn about one of history’s greatest military commanders and uncover some of his secrets of drive—drive that enabled him and his small army to first subdue all of Greece and then the mighty Persian Empire—then you want to read this book. 

Some people like to think that geniuses are so inherently extraordinary that they navigate their journeys with clairvoyant ease. This simply isn’t true.

 Greatness does not come lightly. It requires that you make sacrifices of time, interests, and—sometimes—possessions. The further you move toward greatness, the more greatness demands from you. 

But all barriers yield to one mythical quality: drive. 

The will to persist and overcome. To never give up. To never accept defeat. 

Few stories better illustrate this better than the life of one of the most extraordinary warriors the world has even known; a man of legendary ambition, will, and grit: Alexander the Great. 

In this book, you’ll be taken on a whirlwind journey through Alexander’s life and conquests, and not only learn about the successes and mistakes of one of history’s greatest conquerors, but also how to awaken a fire in your own life and adventures.

Read this book now and learn lessons from Alexander the Great on why drive is so vital to awakening your inner genius, and learn insights into the real power of purpose, how to defeat the insidious force of “Resistance” that holds us back, and more.

Ratings and reviews

This was more a motivational self-help book than a history of Alexander. It's a fine introduction for a beginner, but if you enjoy reading histories this book is not a good choice.

Westerly point views. Persian point view his last words where before the Persian cut his head off Today is beautiful day seeing 1 million Persian fighter After 8 years slaying them. The killed him in summer since that day Greeks start practicing how to fight. That day is been known to day Olympic games as of the Greek where the only poeple who ever used an arow and bow

This by far is the greatest book I've ever read. It gives us knowledge based on wisdom and best of all an action plan for drive, dealing with resistance, and keeping your dream,vision,or goal at the for front of your actions. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially those who maybe dealing with depression, confusion, at an abrupt halt in life. Thank yo Mr. Sean Patrick.
