INNER MASTERY, OUTER IMPACT (Hachette Go; 9780306827860; June 7, 2022) by Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa, founder of the Mentora Institute, is based on his highly lauded course at Columbia Business School, “Personal Leadership and Success,” and explores key principles on how to create outer success that reflects our inner core.
Many people hunger for success but struggle to balance the drumroll of the world with the beat of our own heart. Some of us pursue Outer Success, wanting to be liked and loved, praised and rewarded. But in our quest for worldly glory, we may ignore the subtle stirring of our heart, waking up one day to realize just how far we’ve drifted from our personal ideals. Other people seek Inner Success, wanting the freedom to pursue personal passions. But in our quest to be true to ourselves, we may end up hurting, disappointing or antagonizing others, and end up straining our relationships and end up being sidelined.
It seems that our drives for Outer and Inner Success are destined to clash. But perhaps that’s only because we’ve been searching in the wrong places. INNER MASTERY, OUTER IMPACT shows us how to pursue what is most important to us so we can fulfill our greatest potential. We do this by activating our Five Core Energies:
Purpose – Striving to always stay true to our core purpose of helping people approach their highest potential in life and leadership.
Wisdom – Cultivating the wisdom required to direct our emotions, thoughts, beliefs and mindsets in the service of our purpose and to uncover and embrace the truth in all matters.
Growth – Engaging in the healthy pursuit of excellence by working to unlock the vast potential for growth that exists in ourselves and in others.
Love – Anchoring our work in love, taking joy in others’ joy, feeling success in others’ success, and in serving our purpose with devotion.
Self-Realization – Manifesting self-realization in our work and lives, operating mindfully from the pure and joyful spirit within us, and respecting the same spirit present in everyone.
Dr. Wadhwa provides extensive scientific research and masterful storytelling about exemplary figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Nelson Mandela. He also draws from the everyday heroes in his client workshops at the Mentora Institute and his leadership program at Columbia. He helps readers discover and utilize timeless principles of success in life and leadership by showing how our Five Core Energies can create outer impact from a place of inner mastery.
With a PhD in Management Science from MIT and a lifelong study of the world’s mystic traditions, Dr. Wadhwa brings a mathematician’s rigor and a truth-seeker’s spirit to some of today’s most vexing questions about authenticity, success, leadership, and human potential. INNER MASTERY, OUTER IMPACT shows you how to create the conditions where both Inner Success and Outer Success can flourish in mutual harmony for a life of meaning and purpose.
