The Habsburg Way: Seven Rules for Turbulent Times is an attempt to distill inherited wisdom through illustrative anecdotes drawn from history.
The book is written by Hungarian ambassador to the Holy See, and includes references to anime, Dune, and Star Wars.
The seven rules are 1: Get married and have lots of children; 2: Believe in the empire and in subsidiarity; 4: Stand for law and justice and your subjects; 5: Know who you are; 6: Be brave in battle; and 7: Die well.
The Habsburg Way emphasizes the family’s traditions, but also how they have been renewed over the centuries to allow the family to adapt.
The author's ancestor, Bl. Karl, epitomizes the family's relationship to the Catholic Church.
He says Americans must draw on the stories we tell about our history to build an identity.
