E435 | The Antihero Advantage: Why I Wrote It, What It's About, and Who It's For

from The Art Of Coaching · host Brett Bartholomew

After years of research, writing, rewriting, and countless conversations with leaders, coaches, entrepreneurs, and professionals across industries, The Antihero Advantage is finally here. In this special episode, I share why I felt compelled to write this book, the ideas that shaped it, and what you can expect if you decide to read it. We talk about the limitations of the traditional “hero” narrative, why adaptability and social agility matter more than ever, and how understanding human behavior can help you lead, communicate, and navigate complexity more effectively. Whether you’ve been following this project from the beginning or are just hearing about it for the first time, I hope this episode provides a helpful introduction to the thinking behind The Antihero Advantage. In this episode, we discuss: •⁠ ⁠Why I wrote The Antihero Advantage •⁠ ⁠The core ideas and themes behind the book •⁠ ⁠Who this book is for—and who it isn’t •⁠ ⁠Using your dark side for good •⁠ ⁠What I hope readers take away from it If The Antihero Advantage resonates with you, I’d be grateful if you’d consider picking up a copy and leaving a review. Your support helps more than you know, and it helps these ideas reach more people.
