by Dave Hollis Narrated by Dave Hollis

Overview

Read by the author.

New York Times*bestselling author Dave Hollis knows what it feels like to realize you've been sailing off of someone else's map. He has taken control of his life and future, and he's ready to share the lessons he learned along the way with people who are facing similar struggles.

Dave Hollis was recently confronted with the fact that he was living the life someone else wanted for him. After weathering a highly publicized personal crisis amid the backdrop of an international pandemic and navigating the enjoyable but unpredictable waters of being a single father to four kids, he has been forced to become the captain of his own life and is ready to teach others how to do the same.

Built for Courage*will help you:

• Dive deeper into the stories, values, and beliefs you attach yourself to and decide once and for all if they have credibility or if it's time to cut bait;
• Incorporate fundamental habits and routines specific to you and your circumstances that will flood your daily life with consistency, flexibility, simplicity, and integrity;
• Identify and, if necessary, adjust your goals to ensure they are clear, don't belong to other people, and are not contingent on immediate results;
• Accept failure as the richest source of intelligence and help you reframe it as a requirement for your own progress and growth; and
• Much, much more.

Built for Courage*gleans wisdom from sources vast and wide, as well as from the life experiences of Dave himself, to get you to the place you're meant to go and become who you are meant to be, regardless of any anchor holding you back.

Accompanying graphics and interactive components are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
