The Power of 3: Beat Adversity, Find Authentic Purpose, Live a Better Life

by Robb Hiller

Overview

Groundbreaking advice from one of the nation’s foremost executive coaches to help you overcome obstacles in your life, find your unique purpose, and achieve more.
When faced with adversity, a major decision, or simply the challenges of daily existence, whether it is a difficult boss, a child who is hard to control, or a marriage or career that appears to be stuck, most of us have habitual knee-jerk reactions that hold us back. We find ourselves asking, Why am I working so hard but don’t seem to be getting anywhere? Why do I keep fighting the same battles? When did I lose passion for what I do?

Everyone has those questions, and in this book, Robb Hiller unveils the coaching that he has given Fortune 500 executives to answer these same questions. His counsel is encapsulated in a three-fold principle: ask, activate, and advocate. Robb is passionate about teaching these principles because they helped him face the biggest challenge of his life: a devastating cancer diagnosis. In this book, you won’t just discover these principles—you will learn from Robb how to practice them in your daily routines and unleash your passion and purpose, no matter what hurdle you currently face.

What People are Saying About This

Tom Lehman

So much can be said about Robb Hiller’s amazing book, The Power of 3. However, one simple but powerfully life-changing word filled my being over and over again: hope. We all need it. This book gives it.

Paul Douglas

Rob Hiller has crafted an amazing story of tenacity, courage, and survival. His harrowing life story is a vivid reminder that, even today, miracles do happen when you least expect them. Adversity never leaves us, he writes, which is so true. We all face our own personal trials and tribulations. God doesn’t promise an easy life to any of us. It’s how we cope with trials and adversity that define us—how we play the hand we’re dealt. The eternal truths Rob discusses about asking, activating, and advocating can help anyone going through a tough patch, from family struggles to business challenges. The Power of 3 is real, and I predict that if you open your mind and your heart, this book can and will change your life.

John O'Leary

Robb Hiller should not be here. Although a seemingly unsurvivable diagnosis should have claimed his life, he not only survived but thrived. In The Power of 3, Robb shares the process he’s learned throughout the journey that freed him to embrace the possibility of his life. In reading The Power of 3, you’ll be liberated to embrace the possibility in your life too.

Jerry Mattys

Robb has used a powerful and personal story to share a template for positive change—how to deal with life’s inevitable setbacks and make the most of the life that God has given us. The Power of 3 abounds with practical wisdom and encouragement on becoming a valued mentor, friend, or parent. Anyone in a position of leadership can benefit from this book.

John Butcher

We’re each equipped with spiritual gifts to help us navigate adversity. The Power of 3 is a simple yet powerful framework to create clarity on how you’ve been uniquely prepared to overcome the obstacles in your life.

Dr. Joel K. Johnson

The three fundamental questions of life are Who am I?, Why am I here?, and Where am I going? Robb taps into the Power of 3 resources that bring clarity to these life-giving questions. Your mind will be stretched, your heart enlarged, and your passions ignited when you discover the Power of 3 and apply it to your everyday life and relationships.

James Hereford

Robb Hiller has written a very helpful and practical guide to being a better leader and a better person. It brings together concepts that might be familiar to readers of Edgar Schein, Carol Dweck, or Chip Heath and translates them into practical approaches that can be immediately applied. I would recommend Robb’s book to anyone who is committed to the improvement of their community, organization, family, or themselves.
