Editorial Book Review:
By Marcos Buttler
Mark McIntyre’s The Power of With: 1st-Century Wisdom and 21st-Century Wit to Build Your Business delivers a refreshing blend of timeless insights and practical modern strategies. Drawing from ancient principles and infusing them with humor and contemporary relevance, the book demonstrates how collaboration and relationship-building are essential for thriving in today’s competitive landscape.
What I loved most about the book is how well it combined general truths with useful tips. Each chapter is like having a chat with a wise older person; it's both inspiring and very useful. McIntyre doesn't just talk about being successful; he also gives you the ways to get there. It doesn't matter how long you've been in business or how new you are; his advice on making real connections and being honest in business really hits home. It is fun to read and easy to connect with the stories. The lessons taught stay with you long after you finish the book.
What makes this book stand out is its focus on service, not just success. It reminds readers that in building strong teams, lasting client relationships, or impactful businesses, the “with” factor—working together—is a game-changer. The clarity of McIntyre’s advice, combined with his engaging tone, makes it easy to absorb and even easier to apply. This book isn’t just about professional growth; it’s about becoming the kind of person others want to work with and trust.
I also appreciated the philanthropic element of the book. Knowing that proceeds go to nonprofits reinforces its message of shared success and collective impact. It’s rare to find a business book with such heart. The Power of With doesn’t just teach you how to win in business—it shows you how to create a better, more connected world while doing so.
This is more than a guide to building a business; it’s a guide to building a life rooted in meaningful partnerships and purpose. It left me inspired to approach my professional relationships with more intentionality and joy. If you’re looking for a book that combines wit, wisdom, and real-world strategies for success, this one is a must-read.
