Nelson Mandela, who died in 2013 at the age of ninety-five, is the closest thing the world has to a secular saint. He liber­ated a country from a system of violent prejudice and helped unite oppressor and oppressed in a way that had never been done before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Richard Stengel, the editor of \u003ci\u003eTime \u003c\/i\u003emaga­zine, has distilled countless hours of intimate conver­sation with Mandela into fifteen essential life lessons. For nearly three years, including the critical period when Mandela moved South Africa toward the first democratic elections in its history, Stengel collaborated with Mandela on his autobiography, \u003ci\u003eLong Walk to Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e, and traveled with him everywhere. Eating with him, watching him campaign, hearing him think out loud, Stengel came to know all the different sides of this complex man and became a cherished friend and colleague. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMandela's Way, \u003c\/i\u003eStengel recounts the moments in which \"the grandfather of South Africa\" was tested and shares the wisdom he learned: why courage is more than the absence of fear, why we should keep our rivals close, why the answer is not always either\/or but often \"both,\" how important it is for each of us to find something away from the world that gives us pleasure and satisfaction--our own garden. Woven into these life lessons are remarkable stories--of Mandela's child­hood as the prot g  of a tribal king, of his early days as a freedom fighter, of the twenty-seven-year imprison­ment that could not break him, and of his fulfilling remarriage at the age of eighty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis uplifting book captures the spirit of this extraordinary man--warrior, martyr, husband, statesman, and moral leader--and spurs us to look within ourselves, reconsider the things we take for granted, and contemplate the legacy we'll leave behind.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Stengel \u003c\/b\u003eis the former editor of \u003ci\u003eTIME\u003c\/i\u003e.
