Building Your Epic Life

Your Journey, Your Way, Your Masterpiece

Beschreibung

Building Your Epic Life empowers young people to understand that failure is an inevitable—and essential—part of the journey to success. The author shares his own challenges and struggles, showing that no path to success is linear and without setbacks. The book teaches the value of building a healthy body, mind, and spirit, and includes exercises that offer actionable plans for individuals to realize a meaningful, self-defined life based on their core values. A proven roadmap workbook and short lectures guide readers through a series of practical steps to discover their purpose, vision, and understand the value of mentorship—and why each of these is fundamental in identifying life's important moments and opportunities. Building Your Epic Life also recommends a range of books, affirmations, and daily routines for students and professionals who want to reach their full potential.
