Viktor Orbán is Winning..., is a book about the secrets behind Hungary's superstar Prime Minister. The book helps readers understand why Viktor Orbán was able to win three elections in a row with a landslide majority. Independent of the reader's political view, this book explains the science behind the magic of the Orphan Victor – a powerful and inspirational lesson for Republicans and Democrats alike.
Viktor Orbán is Winning..., is the first book to introduce the story of the Hungarian Prime Minister to an American audience. Furthermore, it is a new book about 'Europe's new strongman,' who landed on the covers of Time Magazine and The Economist, making headlines in The New York Times and CNN.
Viktor Orbán is Winning... is a revealing book that takes a deep dive into the self-made man of Hungarian politics—how an underdog becomes an outlier, and the loser becomes a winner. It offers a powerful story about how to understand America's double narrative and model its success. How would your life change if everybody, friends and foes, believed that you were invincible? Hidvégi's new book offers compelling insight into the unmatched success of Viktor Orbán—and what Democrats and Republicans can learn from it.
How and why could Orbán win three elections in a row with a landslide? A modern populist tyrant or a modern leader? Why did Geroge Soros become his most fierce enemy? Is he really like Donald Trump?
Áron Arnold Hidvégi calls his book the first self-help book inspired by Viktor Orbán. In Viktor Orbán is Winning..., the author offers insight into the realm of the 'Orphan Victor,' having heard him in private and in public conversations with key figures from his inner-circle staff, including some of Orbán's most prolific mentors.
As he writes in the preface, he wanted to draft an explanation on Viktor Orbán in the perspective of 'and/and' instead of the dividing story of 'or/or.' "I don't know if people will like the book or not, but one thing is for sure – Orbán Viktor had the most profound impact on my life." – says Hidvégi.
The author interprets Viktor Orbán's narrative through the works of Malcolm Gladwell and Seth Godin, Nobel Laureate, Daniel Kahneman, best selling self-help authors Simon Sinek, Stephen Covey, and Anthony Robbins, or the character of Bob Dylan, Steve Jobs, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hidvégi's intellectual adventure introduces the fundamentals of Orbán's politics through psychology and behavioral economics, with a grip on startups and sports training principles.
Viktor Orbán is Winning... offers readers a closer look into Hungarian traditions and history, too. We also learn about the impact that football had on Viktor Orbán's thinking algorithm, and as a child, how he conditioned himself as a pro athlete to the peak and used football as a self-development tool. Readers will understand how he drew his identity on a blank slate by finding his roots in Transylvania's Szeklerland, choosing Protestantism as a mature adult, and reinventing Hungarianness, ultimately giving a vision to lead his nation.
As in world politics, it becomes more difficult to achieve stability. Viktor Orbán sets an example of how things can be done differently. Politics that build on the people's worldview, storytelling at its best—connecting with people and making a difference. How to challenge and disrupt the status quo, think like a startup, and cross Geoffrey Moore's chasm—how Viktor Orbán's Fidesz changed the status quo of Hungarian politics and the lives of Hungarians.
As Nobel Laureate, Albert Szent-Györgyi, once said, "To see what everybody else has seen and to think what nobody else has thought." The Underground Narrative interprets Viktor Orbán's politics as art—his way of thinking, the trail he blazes, the art of his politics. What gives its originality? What are the rules that can describe his success? How did it touch Hungarians so profoundly? How else is he different from his rivals?
The core message of the book, however, is not only Viktor Orbán; it teaches a lesson of how to interpret others whose worldview may differ from that of our own. How do we approach the Rubik's Cube with curiosity and patience rather than with a closed-mind, ultimately recognizing its opportunity?
Learn something new. Not just about Viktor Orbán, but maybe yourself.
