Passion Struck: Twelve Powerful Principles to Unlock Your Purpose and Ignite Your Most Intentional Life

#1 Amazon International Bestseller   "John R. Miles has created the ultimate guide. Passion Struck is a must-read for anyone seeking to unleash their potential." — Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach   Winner 20+ International Awards, including:  Gold Stevie® Best Business Book (International + American Business Awards)   Next Big Idea Club Must-Read   Mom's Choice Awards® Gold   Global Book Awards Gold   Reader's Favorite Gold     We live in a world that worships the born-on-purpose.   We applaud the child who knew at seven she would be CEO, the prodigy who never doubted, the unicorn who never second-guessed.   The rest of us quietly conclude we missed the window. That conclusion is the lie that keeps ordinary lives ordinary.   In Passion Struck, behavioral science expert and former Fortune 50 executive John R. Miles dismantles the myth of the pre-destined and hands you the operating system for building a life that feels like it was custom-made for your soul. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, the psychology of progress, and never-before-shared stories from Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bezos, General Stanley McChrystal, Jim McKelvey, and NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, this book proves that the distance between stuck and unstoppable is measured in choices, not gifts.   Purpose is not discovered in a lightning bolt.   It is engineered, one deliberate decision at a time. By the final page, you will know exactly how to silence the voice that says "not yet," how to turn Sunday-night dread into Monday-morning fire, and how to craft a mission so clear that procrastination becomes impossible.   Most books celebrate the people who started on third base.  This one is written for the millions who started in the parking lot and still refuse to stay there. The true measure of your potential is not where you began.   It is how far you are willing to climb to become the person you were born to be.
