Hero on a Mission

A Path to a Meaningful Life

De: Donald Miller

Narrado por: Donald Miller

Read by the author.

New York Times best-selling author Donald Miller shares the plan that led him to turn his life around.

There are four characters in every story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. These four characters live inside us. If we play the victim, we’re doomed to fail. If we play the villain, we will not create genuine bonds. But if we play the hero or guide, our lives will flourish. The hard part is being self-aware enough to know which character we are playing.

In this book, Donald will use his own experiences to help you recognize if the character you are currently surfacing is helping you experience a life of meaning. He breaks down the transformational, yet practical, plan that took him from slowly giving up to rapidly gaining a new perspective of his own life’s beauty and meaning, igniting his motivation, passion, and productivity, so you can do the same.

The lessons in this book will teach you how to:

• Help you discover when you are playing the victim and villain.
• Create a simple life plan that will bring clarity and meaning to your goals ahead.
• Take control of your life by choosing to be the hero in your story.
• Cultivate a sense of creativity about what your life can be.
• Move beyond just being productive to experiencing a deep sense of meaning.

Donald Miller will help you identify the many chances you have of being the hero in your life, and the times when you are falling into the trap of becoming the victim. He will guide you in developing a unique plan that will speak to the challenges you currently face so you, too, can find the fulfillment you have been searching for in your life and work.

Loved it!

Wonderfully inspiring and fun concepts that are applicable to anyone at any age and stage of life. We have listened again and again and have had many engaging conversations as a result.

Awesome!!

Inspiring as hell. I would recommend it to anybody at any stage in their life.

Great perspective

Something I now better understand and can apply to my life and my business

Is pretty good, I would want to see more actionable advice

Overall a good read/listen and an interesting take on life. I personally prefer more actionable steps and less “theory” or explanations. That’s the only point that decreased the value of this book for me.

A great guide!

I’ve enjoyed each Miller book, and this one was especially enjoyable because be mentioned the Ride:Well ride; Christina and I were the GCC hosts when the ride came thru Tyler - and we got to actually ride about 10 miles with the group. A wonderful book, building on the principles I enjoyed so much in Storybrand.

A clear call to transformation *excellent*

As a writer — and one who has worked with the Hero’s Journey — I’m envious at this author’s masterful use of the monomyth. I’m also envious of how he crafted a clear path to make it actionable in modern life.

As a reader, this book is a joy. It’s clean and easy to follow. It issues a tremendous challenge to create meaning in life. But, there are a lot of books that do this.

This one’s different from many in that Miller spells out his own struggles and how he lived out the Victim archetype for so many years.

That’s why I trust him as a guide in this book — he tells a story of dream - struggle - victory that I find endearing and ultimately inspiring.

It doesn’t hurt that he and I are the same age and share a lot in common from our childhoods (I also stood in line for government cheese as a kid). And he often quotes Viktor Frankl, whose book, Man’s Search for Meaning, became a lifesaver and turning point for me in one of my darkest years.

Oh, and the resources he offers as bonus items are useful as immediate ways to integrate the lessons.

Five Stars all around!

Builds on Viktor Frankl and Joseph Campbell

One of my very few reviews I ever wrote.
I’m very glad I picked this up. So relatable for me. As an admirer of Viktor Frankl and Joseph Campbell this for me has gone the next step, put their teachings into our time, at least relatable for me. The author has walked the talk which shines through all the way.
Very grateful for him having written this book.
Excellent performance as well.

love this, get this!

This is one of the best books on this niche I've read in a while.
I'm looking forward to putting the teachings and methods into practice

Donald Miller is becoming my favorite author!

Another Donald Miller masterpiece. Life lessons in ever chapter. One of my favorite reads. Must read

Manual for how to live a life with meaning

Read it once and loved it. Going back to read second time and implementing it. Thanks for answering your call Don and creating something that will help others expand the kingdom of god and live their own life of meaning.
