I recommend that everyone feeling lost read "The Annals of Emperor Gaozu." Liu Bang may be criticized for his morality, but in terms of personal perfection, he is unparalleled in history. His extreme result-oriented approach, clear self-awareness, inspiring charisma that can motivate those around him to sacrifice their lives for him, and the deep-seated romantic openness. To achieve great things, start by reading about Liu Bang's past events from over a thousand years ago—perhaps only Mao Zedong can be compared to him in this regard.
