When You Are Down - Book 2: The Personal Battles of World Leaders They changed the world. But first--they had to survive it. This book is for anyone who feels anxious, uncertain, depressed, or alone. For the teenager who doesn't believe in their own worth. For the adult quietly holding it together while falling apart. For anyone who needs to know: you're not the only one--and you're not done yet. When You Are Down reveals the hidden struggles of ten world leaders who faced deep personal pain long before they found power. Winston Churchill battled lifelong depression. Xi Jinping was exiled and beaten as a teenager. Lula da Silva lost his wife and child and spent over a year in prison. Narendra Modi gave up family life to walk India alone. Angela Merkel learned to survive through silence in a surveillance state. You'll also meet Kim Dae-jung, Charles de Gaulle, Nelson Mandela, Golda Meir, Lee Kuan Yew, Pierre Trudeau, Konrad Adenauer, and Margaret Thatcher--leaders shaped not just by history, but by heartbreak. This isn't a book about politics. It's about resilience. And if you're in a hard season, this book is here to remind you: you are not alone. And this is not the end.
