Barrie draws on examples from history, literature, and his own personal experiences to illustrate his points. He discusses the courage of individuals such as Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, and Florence Nightingale. He also talks about the courage of everyday people who face adversity and challenges in their lives.
