It's a great point. I still remember when I was reading The Gatsby, my dad, without skipping a beat, could quote that entire last page. And that's, again, an example of being in awe of his competence, right? But he also, that was part of his vision, right? And I write in the book that my parents had infuriating flaws, but really inspired me about both my mom and dad

is they wanted to be a better person today than they were yesterday, and they wanted to be more inspiring tomorrow than they were today. And so just like that green light, they strove towards that. So I would say the single biggest thing, maybe the core of this book, is that it answers centuries old question, right? Are leaders born or are they made?

And I think that I've shown definitively that leaders are made because there is a universal set of characteristics that make someone inspiring. We can study those, learn those, practice those, and develop those skills. It also means that it's our current behavior that inspires or infuriates.

So that means that you could be inspiring today, but you could slide towards the inferior end of the continuum tomorrow. But it also means no matter how bad you are today, tomorrow you can be a little bit better, right? You can strive towards that green light of inspiration. And so part of it is that we have to stay the course, right?

Even when the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and the winds of chaos are all around us, we have to keep going forward. And here's a final thing that I think is really important from my research is that don't be too hard on yourself. One of the things that I've shown in my research is shame is a particularly destructive emotion.

It makes us into defensive monsters or hiding ostriches, putting our head in the sand. And so none of us are perfect. we're all going to make mistakes, right? I'm going to be an infuriating person tomorrow, even with the best efforts. And so the question is, how do we recover from that? And how do we become more inspiring tomorrow? If we dwell on those moments and we beat ourselves up, right?
