How to Be Abe Lincoln: Seven Steps to Leading a Legendary Life

by Jonathan Shapiro

More than at any time in American history, except perhaps Abe Lincoln's own,
we need his help. And not just to inspire us. Over sixty-thousand books have
been written about him, and most give us the heroic Lincoln. What we need now is
a book that gives us the practical Lincoln. This is that book. It shows
us how to survive our dangerously fractious age, one that is too often unmoored
from truth, ignorant of facts, and unwilling to do the hard work of becoming
better. It is written for those who don't just admire Lincoln but want to
emulate his rational, practical approach to law, love, leadership, and life. It
identifies the seven steps that made Abe Lincoln legendary and teaches you how
to follow them. Written in the accessible, humorous style of Shapiro's previous
books and television shows, the book is part history and biography, part
philosophy, part memoir, part James Spader rant, and like Lincoln himself, a
true original. Above all, it is great storytelling, using narrative to teach and
inspire.
