Shortcut Edition, 2024

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. As you read this summary, you will discover that you must be wary of the notion of success as well as the notion of failure. You will also discover : that your identity is built on very precise archetypes; that, during your youth, your definitions of success and failure are conditioned by the example of your parents; that accumulating experience rather than looking for quick success will allow you to assimilate values that will bring you more lasting success; that it is important to be bold and inventive, even after you have succeeded, and even as you get older; that defeat can be an opportunity to reinvent yourself more freely; that it is by transcending both triumph and disaster that you will truly flourish. In 218 BC, Hannibal and his army, after crossing the Alps, arrived in Italy. Over the next year, Hannibal triumphed over Roman armies one after the other, despite having fewer troops. The tactics he devised are legendary and are still studied in military schools today. After this series of overwhelming victories, it was clear to the Carthaginians, as to the Romans, that the war was coming to an end. Hannibal had demonstrated his superiority in battle, and was considered invincible: he personified success. However, while Hannibal remained in Italy for 14 years, and although he remained undefeated during that time, he never conquered Rome. Moreover, a few decades later, the Romans decided to avenge the affront by wiping Carthage off the map. The story of Hannibal Barca, who had devoted his life to the destruction of Rome, who wanted to avenge Carthage and bring it back to prosperity, is that of a bitter failure. How could such resounding triumphs lead to such a disaster? What lessons can we learn from this well-known figure in history?
