Each of us has a special purpose in life--do you know what yours is?

By merging Ignatian Spirituality with astute business knowledge, Lowney provides the tools and strategies needed to make practical, long-term life changes that move us away from our fractured, compartmentalized lives and toward the satisfaction and wholeness that each of us desires so deeply.

Praise for Chris Lowney and Heroic Living
"Lowney's whole-life strategy connects us with our deepest beliefs, and connects these beliefs with what we do every day to 'make the world not only life-giving and sustaining but beautiful and interesting.' "
--Thomas M. Loarie, Chairman and CEO, Mercator MedSystems, Inc.
"This book is not about guaranteed steps to success but suggests a thoughtful and convincing path to an integrated life."
--Karen M. Ristau, EdD, President, NCEA
"Lowney's powerful book refreshingly integrates strategic management, religious tradition, and human stories. The book is full of teachable moments that help one view life from the 'inside out' rather than the 'outside in'--calling all of us to a better version of ourselves."
--Michael D. Connelly, President and CEO, Catholic Healthcare Partners
"This work is a welcomed contribution for anyone longing for a more authentic and purposeful life."
--Steve G. W. Moore, Executive Director, M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust
Review Quotes
"Clearly relevant and necessary in today's self-centered and directionless world. Read it not merely for the latest tips to be better than yourself or your neighbor. Read it to hear the still small voice that says that you and I are created for heroic living."
--Eagles Vantage Point
