Description

Inside of you resides an intentional life without limits.

The time has come to awaken it.

Are you living intentionally, with purpose and passion? Are you embracing the flame that ignites within you, or are you evading it? Will your future self be proud of your story, or do you yearn for something more?

We all have personal limits that apply to different areas of our lives, such as creating abundance, making changes to our health or body, overcoming recurring patterns of self-sabotage, or simply believing in ourselves. However, we can tap into our unlimited potential when we push ourselves beyond these limitations. Once we let go of our doubts, we can begin to have faith in our new life. By intentionally acting as if it’s attainable, we can gradually transform into the embodiment of that belief.

John R. Miles—entrepreneur, award-winning podcast host, former U.S. Navy officer, and Fortune 50 senior executive—reveals his groundbreaking discoveries that allow you to reshape your past and create an empowered and limitless future through authentic and candid personal stories. Alongside these narratives are twelve science-based principles on mindset and behavior that Miles discovered by examining and interviewing successful professionals such as Marc Benioff, David Rubenstein, Katy Milkman, Bernie Marcus, Uri Levine, Marshall Goldsmith, Robin Sharma, Susan Cain, Shawn Springs, Thaddeus Bullard, Elon Musk, Susan Wojcicki, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Navy SEALs, astronaut Chris Cassidy, and General Stanley McChrystal.

In this book, you will learn how to:
  • Create a meaningful mission that will enhance your life's purpose from Square founder Jim McKelvey
  • Identify the root causes of self-doubt and overcome fears that are holding you back from Oprah Winfrey
  • Transform the way you lead from General McChrystal and the Honorable Keith Krach, former Under Secretary of State
  • Unleash your potential by taking purposeful actions toward achieving your dreams from Astronaut Captain Wendy Lawrence
  • Transform the world around you by harnessing the power of adaptability from Jeff Bezos

With the help of the insights and strategies presented in Passion Struck, you can craft the life you truly desire and make it a reality.

Are you ready? It’s time to live life Passion Struck.
Inside of you resides an intentional life without limits.

The time has come to awaken it.
