When John McCain needs inspiration, these are the stories and courageous people he thinks of—individuals who found the strength to act with bravery, to confront what Eleanor Roosevelt described as “the things you think you cannot do.”.

About this product

Product Information

The Way to a Braver Life "Courage," Winston Churchill explained, is "the ?rst of human qualities . . . because it guarantees all the others." As a naval officer, P.O.W., and one of America's most admired political leaders, John McCain has seen countless acts of bravery and self-sacrifice. Now, in this inspiring meditation on courage, he shares his most cherished stories of ordinary individuals who have risked everything to defend the people and principles they hold most dear."We are taught to understand, correctly, that courage is not the absence of fear but the capacity for action despite our fears," McCain reminds us, as a way of introducing the stories of ?gures both famous and obscure that he ?nds most compelling-from the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to Sgt. Roy Benavidez, who ignored his own well-being to rescue eight of his men from an ambush in the Vietnam jungle; from 1960s civil rights leader John Lewis, who wrote, "When I care about something, I'm prepared to take the long, hard road," to Hannah Senesh, who, in protecting her comrades in the Hungarian resistance against Hitler's SS, chose a martyr's death over a despot's mercy.These are some of the examples McCain turns to for inspiration and offers to others to help them summon the resolve to be both good and great. He explains the value of courage in both everyday actions and extraordinary feats. We learn why moral principles and physical courage are often not distinct quantities but two sides of the same coin. Most of all, readers discover how sometimes simply setting the right example can be the ultimate act of courage.Written by one of our most respected public ?gures, Why Courage Matters is that rare book with a message both timely and timeless. This is a work for anyone seeking to understand how the mystery and gift of courage can empower us and change our lives.

"McCain the man remains one of the most inspiring public ?gures of his generation." -The Washington Post Book World From Why Courage Matters: The Way to a Braver Life "We're all afraid of something. Some have more fears than others. The one we must all guard against is the fear of ourselves. Don't let the sensation of fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not proof of cowardice. No one is born a coward. We were meant to love. And we were meant to have courage for it. So be brave. The rest is easy."

Must Read!
John McCain has always impressed me as an individual with extraordinary integrity. This book, written in concert with Mark Salter, is well worth your time to read. In light of the tragic events that have faced us recently, in particular the massacre of so many young people and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, this book describes what some of those students, teachers and first-responders must have exhibited in helping their friends, students and teachers. Thank you, Mr. McCain and Mr. Salter, for so eloquently, passionately and humanly describing the exceptional attributes of those willing to unselfishly give of themselves, even if it meant they literally gave their lives for the sake of others.. bj
