What a great book. Seriously I just got swept up in this book. I was really impressed by this book, I guess more importantly I was enlightened by Mandela. I mean I knew bits & pieces of his life but reading about it in detail just made me admire him even more. The amount of struggles & hurdles he overcame is simply amazing. Not only that but how he approached everything w/ such a non-hateful demeanor. For someone who spent so much time in prison he still had this unbelievable compassion about him & his outlook of others. I can't imagine what it was like being in his presence & experiencing things the way he did. I think there is so much more he could've contributed to the world not just his country of South Africa, but he still fought for what he believed in for decades which is totally commendable. who knows what the state of South Africa would be had he not been such a huge influence. I thought this was a great book. Mandela was an amazing leader and human being. Here are his 15 lessons on life, which I found were most useful.Mandela’s Way: 15 Lessons on Life, Love, and Courage1.
