The Counsels of Cormac Translated by Thomas Cleary

June 20, 2022 By P Commane

Long before Machiavelli’s The Prince, How to Win Friends and Influence People, The Japanese Book of Five Rings, Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People, and The Fifth Discipline, there was the indispensable, bare-bones advice of the great Irish king, Cormac.

He imparted essential lessons on how to be a great leader and how to live a life that was both productive and fulfilling.

In these pages is the wisdom of thousands of years of Celtic civilization, now available in a masterful new translation by Thomas Cleary.

In the tradition of the Tao Te Ching and The Art of War, this ancient manual offers moral and practical instructions for wise and successful leadership all imbued with distinctly Celtic flavour.

Cormac, portrayed by Irish poets and historians as one of the greatest of the Irish high kings, is particularly famed for his achievements in culture and for the personal qualities he brought to governing. In the words of a later historian he was wise and learned.
