Kindle Notes & Highlights
Eric Fromm, To Have or To Be? (New York: Harper & Row, 1976). See pp. 108–09 for Fromm’s discussion of freedom and the mode of existence symbolically represented by the hero.
John W. Gardner, No Easy Victories (New York: Harper Colophon Books, 1968). Chapter 12 of this book is the most lucid and inspiring message about the need for community leadership I have ever read. It’s as true today as it was twenty-five years ago.
John W. Gardner, On Leadership (New York: The Free Press, 1990), p. 199.
Rollo May, Freedom and Destiny (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1981). I recommend this book to anyone taking the inner path to leadership. May suggests that freedom loses its solid foundation without its opposite, destiny, which sets up the necessary creative tension and gives freedom its viability (p. 16). He also says that after pursuing our destiny for many years, we may arrive at a point where our freedom and destiny seem united. This was true of Martin Luther, who, when he nailed his ninety-nine theses on the door of the cathedral at Wittenberg, said, “Here I stand, I can do no other.”
