Learning from History: One-Hundred Lessons History Taught Us

By Brian Eris

What if every leadership crisis, cultural upheaval, or social struggle we face today has already been lived and solved, by those before us?

In Learning from History, Brian Eris distills the wisdom of centuries into 100 gripping, deeply reflective lessons that speak directly to our modern challenges. Through vivid storytelling and sharp insight, this book explores the triumphs, failures, and turning points of some of the most consequential moments in human history, from Cleopatra's cunning diplomacy to Churchill's wartime sacrifice, from Gandhi's perfectly timed defiance to Napoleon's blinding arrogance.

Whether you're a student of history, a leader in business or politics, or simply someone seeking clarity in a chaotic world, this book offers a guide to understanding the patterns that shape nations-and the decisions that shape lives.

What you'll discover inside:

Why trust is more powerful than fear in leadership

How propaganda still sways modern minds just like in WWII

The dangers of unchecked power, blind loyalty, and bad timing

The brilliance of those who adapted, listened, and sacrificed for something greater

Divided into ten thought-provoking themes, including Leadership, War, Culture, Technology, Human Rights, and Legacy; each chapter is a story, a lesson, and a mirror held up to today's world.

This is not a textbook. It's a toolkit for thinkers. A wake-up call for leaders. And a map for anyone trying to make sense of the past to navigate the future.
