Wonderfully profound. Profoundly human.
Format: Hardcover
I had the opportunity to read "Heroic Living" after reading "Heroic Leadership." At age 61, I did not expect to encounter works such as this that I could consider life-changing. Are these "how to" books? Yes - how to live. These are not a quick read for a quick fix. Rarely is a book worth "pondering" in the full sense of the meaning of the word. These books are. The term "heroic" may be off-putting to some, but the author makes it clear that "heroic" comes from being fully, wonderfully human - which encompasses flaws and failures on the road to heroism. The final chapter of Heroic Living is ego-free autobiography which makes it clear just how deeply the author believes in what he while acknowledging his own humanity and the struggles it bring on the journey that is life. If enjoy Lowney's work which is certainly representative of Jesuit "spirituality in action" you may want to balance it with the more contemplative work of Fr.

If you are looking for a book that makes you think about what your purpose in life is, this is it. In today's world it seems that many need permission to seek their best life possible...this book provides the reader with the gradual steps in building the courage needed for self examination.

Let's face it... when we find our purpose are we not living out best lives and in that definition we can change the world we live in to be better for everyone. ... show more

Enjoyed
Format: Kindle
I found this a good book. While I’m not completely sold on the authors perspective on all things I found some insights helpful. I like to say it’s like eating fish. You eat the meat and spit out the bones.

Great for Vocation Discernment
Format: Kindle
This was an excellent book in discerning one's own vocation, as well as helping others discern their vocations. What an accessible yet very poignant read in living one's life with purpose, meaning, and direction. Would highly recommend.

NOt your run of the mill leadership book
Format: Hardcover
A practical integration of spirituality and personal living. Most of think we are self aware, but are we? we think we love, but do we? we think we practice ingenuity, but do we? and finally, can we say we do life heroically?...A definite "what to" book.
