“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
-Plutarch

For the third and final time, I write a review by an impressive author who utilizes philosophical and historical examples to impact our lives today. I hope you have been able to partake of his deep thoughts and wisdom. He astutely captures and brings forward learning for anyone who desires to lead.

One of the many valuable essays shared in Thirty Seven, Quintus discusses the value of a quality not frequently spoken of in our many self-help and management books of today: sincerity. Quintus utilizes one of the great thinkers and writers from history to provide a supreme example and dutiful reminder of an often-minimized quality for those of us in positions of power.  The sincerity and directness of this individual leader provides an incredible example of this characteristic influence of someone who’s work and writing we are still studying and discussing 1700 years later. The sharing on this topic reminds us of how our ethical and moral approach plays an integral part in the impact we have upon others.
