Based on his highly popular Columbia Business School course “Personal Leadership & Success”, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa shares key principles for how to pursue success by letting your true self shine through in everything you do.

In our pursuit of success, we often struggle to balance the world’s demands with our own dreams. Some of us pursue Outer Success, wanting to be liked and loved, supported and promoted. But in our quest for worldly glory, we may ignore the subtle stirring of our spirit, waking up one day to realize just how far we have drifted from our personal ideals. Others among us seek Inner Success, wanting the freedom to pursue our own calling. But in our quest to be true to ourselves, we may end up hurting, disappointing, or antagonizing others, straining relationships and 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 for success in the wrong places. We can pursue from the place where our greatest potential is held, our Inner Core, by activating Five Core Energies: Purpose, Wisdom, Growth, Love, and Self-Realization.

Through extensive scientific research and masterful storytelling about exemplary figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Theresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Nelson Mandela—and everyday heroes drawn from Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa’s class at Columbia Business School and client workshops at Mentora Institute—readers arrive at timeless principles of success in life and leadership. Empowered by your Five Core Energies, you discover how to 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, 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. This book shows how by activating your Inner Core and expressing it in everything you do, you create the conditions where Inner Success and Outer Success can flourish in mutual harmony.

Review

“Reading a book is like having a conversation with an author. As a leader--and as a person--sit down with Hitendra for the conversation Inner Mastery, Outer Impact. You'll find yourself in dialogue with a wise and wonderful expert who has devoted himself to understanding, and explaining, why and how when you grow as a person, you grow as a leader.”―Angela Duckworth, NYT Bestselling Author of Grit

Siegel, M.D., Executive Director, Mindsight Institute, New York Times Bestselling author IntraConnected, Aware, and Mind

“This book is a user manual for life, as well as work. Hitendra breaks new ground by showing us that success in both life and work comes from the same source: the human spirit that lies at the core of our being. He charts a course each of us can take to pursue what we define as success.”

He relates powerful stories of people whose actions will help you see how much magic and grace exists within the core of your being. Prepare to walk away with new, exhilarating understanding of humanity, life, and your own unique self.” ―Scott Barry Kaufman

"Original, wise, and immensely useful: Hitendra Wadhwa takes us into the inner landscape of world-class leadership and provides us with the literary equivalent of a GPS device: a powerful, accessible framework by which we can not only understand how greatness emerges, but also how to nurture it in our own lives. An inspiring and essential read for anyone interested in leadership--or, for that matter, life itself." ―Daniel Coyle, New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code and The Talent Code

I strongly recommend Hitendra's book for other leaders, other organizations and for those who strive to improve themselves and the world around them."―Craig Boyan, President, H-E-B

"Hitendra has spent decades integrating the powerful ancient teachings with the modern science of human potential. In this way, he himself is a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern knowledge. His book shows us that we already possess power and peace inside us that is beyond what we can imagine and provides a path for us to realize this on our own. This book is a source of bright light for all." ―David Greenspan, Founder, Slate Path Capital and Board Member, Columbia Business School

A Game Changer for Life & Leadership

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2022

Reading “Inner Mastery, Outer Inpact” feels like stepping aboard a transformative journey to the center of your inner self. Make no mistake - this is not just a joy ride. Hitendra Wadhwa poses some serious and life-altering questions; he puts you in front of scenarios like ‘when the final curtain falls’ and offers a plethora of sometimes heart-wrenching and sometimes exhilarating first-hand accounts coming from the many executives he has coached, E/MBA students he has taught at Columbia University and from the many studies of historical figures like Lincoln, Jobs, Mother Theresa to name a few. No matter how hard the questions this master storyteller poses, the way he engages the reader is fascinating, eye-opening, mind-boggling and has you at the edge of your seat. Is it possible to forget you are not reading a novel, when the protagonist of this overarching narrative is your own self - with all your faults and favors, all your aspirations and despairs? Who can resists a book like this!

And yet at the end of the day what stands out for me is that this book offers a thought-provoking, highly intellectual, philosophical vision of leadership in the 21st century, one that fuses century-old insights stemming from the contemplative sciences of the East with cutting-edge, modern discoveries from such fields as neuroscience and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Fortuitously, in a world that is as divided as we haven’t seen since the Cold War and hungry for inclusivity and purpose, here comes Hitendra and offers a meticulously researched structure of the 5 Energies that - when deliberately cultivated and practiced each day, will make you not just a better leader, but a better person, and it will naturally, authentically manifest on the outside thus inspiring those around you - your co-workers, teams, families, communities.

IMOI has been a game changer to me. It is bold in that it offers a comprehensive view on how to bring out your best self in a world in which we have gotten used to one-word titles. It is double daring because it does not shy away from touching on what we would call the spiritual - a concept we have tried to do away with over the last few decades. And with this it is transcendental, because it lays the ground for a completely new approach to inclusivity, one that focuses on our shared, humane attributes thus transcending differences, religions, sexual orientation etc.

This book is must read if you want to critically examine not just where you come from but, more importantly, who you want to become in the remaining time that you have left on this planet. A true game changer for not just leadership & development professionals but for each and everyone of us.

Chase inner success instead of outer success

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

I heard the author’s podcast and was intrigued by his insights so I decided to buy his book. Great decision! In the first part of the book he gives some general insights on life and leadership and in the second part he goes deeper into each of what he calls the “five core energies”. For me, the main message was that we need to take a long deep look into our soul to see what we really want from life (“inner success”), and try to not get distracted by all the things society defines as success (“outer success”). Easier said than done of course, but I love how the book gives so many examples you can identify yourself with and all the tips and reflection moments. I thought this was a great read and definitely made me think about my priorities in life.

Leading From the Inside Out

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2022

Wadhwa's "Inner Mastery, Outer Impact" is an insightful read and may very well help you learn more about the one thing that for many of us is a mystery, our own true self. Yet, this is not a book on philosophy or psychology, even though it does have some of both; rather it is one on leadership.

Wadhwa's premise is a simple but compelling one. He says that most business executive focus on leading others, individuals that work for them and their peers. But can you truly lead others if you cannot lead yourself? In fact, it is this often overlooked inner mastery that enables the other external successes. He says, "My goal in this book is to help us find universal laws of human nature that can guide us to our true nature—our highest potential—and to demonstrate that when we live in harmony with these laws, we create the conditions for outer success and impact."

To derive these universal laws, Wadhwa researched many iconic leaders of our lifetimes and beyond from Gandhi to Roosevelt to Mandela. What made them fly so high above other "just leaders?" He uncovers five principles that facilitate the inner mastery journey - finding purpose, acting with wisdom, learning to love, embracing growth and nurturing self-realization.

Wadhwa has been teaching his course on inner personal leadership at Columbia for many years, where many students have helped enrich the course by sharing their own personal journeys. It is a wonderful and endearing strength of this book that it allows you to meet some of these adventurers and hear their stories. In many instances, inner mastery changed their lives. Perhaps it could change yours.
