New York Times bestselling author Donald Miller shares the plan that led him to turn his life around. This actionable guide will teach you how to do the same through journaling prompts and goal-planning exercises.

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, bestselling author Donald Miller uses 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.

In Hero on a Mission, Donald's lessons will teach you how to:

  • 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 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.

    Hero on a Mission will guide you in developing a unique plan that will speak to the challenges you currently face so you can find the fulfillment you have been searching for in your life and work.

    Another productivity oriented book. This one is about thinking of your life as if it is a story you are writing. We want to be the hero, and eventually the guide for others, while avoiding behaving as if we are a victim. We must also avoid being the villain, tearing down others in order to feel good about our own failures.

    I appreciate the way he separated true victims, who are trapped in bad situations, with people who behave as if they are a victim. One thing he left out, is that there are many people who were victims, and now must work to overcome the behavior they learned to survive the abuse.

    Heroes rescue victims, allowing them to become heroes themselves. Heroes, after much experience, become guides who sacrifice their time and energy to help others with their own hero journey.

    When we think of our life as a story, this gives meaning to our life, and we can pursue that meaning. ( )
