Mission Driven is a practical guide for seekers at transition points: young people, recent graduates, professionals considering new roles, those contemplating legacy, or anyone looking to find a more optimal balance in their life. In two sections—The Long Game and The Short Game—Hayes walks readers through the most critical lessons for a life of meaning. Examples:
  • 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
Whether someone is at the beginning of their journey or at any stage looking for more, Mission Driven is a book about knowing yourself, training yourself, generating opportunities, and building a life of impact and reward, however you personally define it. Told with humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to redefine success and accomplish more, not just for themselves—but for others as well.
