How Abraham Lincoln Built Unshakable Confidence

Even Abraham Lincoln had flaws. In Part 3 of my conversation with Professor David S. Reynolds, Distinguished Professor at the CUNY Graduate Center and author of Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times, we look at Lincoln not as a monument — but as a human being. In this episode, we explore: • The story of Lincoln’s alleged visit to a brothel • His troubled marriage to Mary Todd Lincoln • The private memo he wrote admitting he didn’t know whose side God was on • The election of 1864 — when he thought he would lose • Where his deep self-confidence actually came from Lincoln was savagely criticized in his own time. He faced depression. He lost elections. He doubted himself. And yet he never lost faith in the possibility of moral leadership. If you’ve ever wondered how confidence and humility can coexist — this episode is for you. Stay to the end for a reflection on Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, and what one individual can truly change. 00:00 Did Lincoln Have Human Flaws? 00:49 The Brothel Story & Sexual Morality 02:15 Lincoln’s Troubled Marriage to Mary Todd 04:25 The Private Memo to God 05:39 When Lincoln Thought He Would Lose in 1864 06:20 Humility in Victory 06:55 Confidence Without Ego 07:36 “Know Thyself” — The Source of His Inner Strength 09:50 What Lincoln’s Life Teaches About Possibility 12:39 Never Lose Faith in Yourself Subscribe to The Possible for conversations about ethical leadership and the pursuit of a good life.
