Many people have asked us if the wise leaders featured in our book have written books of their own. The answer is yes, and quite a few. Here they are:
Active Liberty: Interpreting Our Democratic Constitution
A wonderful book detailing Justice Breyer’s views on interpreting the U.S. Constitution and his judicial philosophy.
A Life In Leadership: From D-Day to Ground Zero: An Autobiography
by John Whitehead
John Whitehead is one of the most admirable leaders we have ever met. He was heavily involved in commanding troops from the front lines during World War II, rose through the ranks at Goldman Sachs to eventually lead the firm, went on to serve as Deputy Secretary of State, and served as Chairman of an endless list of non-profits. This book captures his remarkable life in his own words.
When Bill George left Metronic he began teaching leadership at some of the top business schools. Now he is at Harvard and has put out two books on what he calls authentic leadership.
Authentic Leadership: Rediscovering the Secrets to Creating Lasting Value (J-B Warren Bennis Series)
True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership (J-B Warren Bennis Series)

The Idea of Ideas by Bob Galvin
A wonderful book that captures Galvin’s philosophies when he led Motorola. This book is out of print, but we were able to read a copy thanks to the Dartmouth College library. Major libraries, Amazon and eBay are your best options for picking up a copy.
Since retiring from Motorola, Galvin has been quite prolific with research and writing. Two other books he published are
America's Founding Secret: What the Scottish Enlightenment Taught Our Founding Fathers
PERFECT POWER: How the Microgrid Revolution Will Unleash Cleaner, Greener, More Abundant Energy
Daniel Kahneman, the sole Nobel laureate in How the Wise Decide, has written many books on the subject of behavioral economics. Here is a link to those books on Amazon.
