What to expect
Former Navy SEAL commander, White House Fellow, and nonprofit and business leader Mike Hayes offers an inspiring playbook for understanding and achieving your most rewarding and purposeful life.
Mission Driven offers a practical guide for transition points: young people, recent graduates, professionals shifting to new roles, or people shifting to find new balance in their lives. It is divided into two sections: The Long Game (figuring out who you want to be, how you define success, and what kind of impact you’re looking to have in your own life and the world) and The Short Game (moving readers from the who to the how, taking the learnings they’ve gathered in the first half of the book and applying them toward building their lives and finding their next great opportunities).
Its lessons include:
·Not What You Want To Be, But Who You Want to Be
·The Most Powerful Secret I Know: Helping Others Helps Us More
·Getting Comfortable Making Decisions
·Finding Enough In The Ways You Spend Your Time
Whether someone is at the beginning of their journey or, at any stage, looking for more, Mission Driven is a roadmap for discovering what drives you, and a playbook for translating those drives into opportunities. It is a book to help us satisfy our ambitions and our souls, filled with smart, empathetic guidance.
