Summary

Stefan Stern draws on the major themes of Macbeth and discusses how they can be applied to ambition in modern life.
From the success of the first US woman Vice President, Kamala Harris, the obstacles she faced and the possibilities that still lie ahead, to Boris Johnson's young aspirations to be 'world king' and the pathological intensity of his ambition, Stern considers the careers and personal lives of politicians, sports stars and business people, to name a few, to illuminate this strange and powerful driver. Discover how ambition and success work together, how attitudes have shifted over time, and how gender roles have an impact on our goals.


Incisive, contemporary and accessible, this book is for anyone who is looking for a change of direction or emphasis on how to move forward. It will also provide consolation, amusement and plenty of insightful meditations on the complex nature of ambition.
Available since: 02/12/2026.
