Win the World Without Losing Your Soul

By Dave Durand

Book Overview

Challenging the idea that morality is checked by the door at the workplace, this motivating guide uses 12 accessible lessons to help embrace both success and integrity in professional and personal life. Through practical philosophy and inspirational stories, Durand shows individual growth gained the right way is no longer an out of reach ideal. By focusing on "success" as a concept free of guilt and not measured with dollar signs, the workplace is revealed in a fresh, energetic light that is vastly different from what has come to dominate common thinking on this everyday subject. With this book's new outlook, thriving positively in life can be a natural obligation rather than a rare exception.

Get Started Today Winning the Rest of Your Life

I am a big fan of the work of Dave Durand, and this has continued with his release of this latest book, Win the World Without Losing Your Soul. Dave's precepts are straightforward, well thought out, manageable, and just simply make sense. He sets out to define what he means by "Winning the World", giving the reader the immediate sense that this book goes beyond today's typical self help types of books to something that will be more concrete and long lasting in one's life. At the conclusion of each chapter, "Winning Questions" help the reader to pause, reflect upon the concepts of the chapter, and apply them to your own life. Dave's comments on embracing long term gratification, the importance of true resolve (moving beyond a "positive attitude") and the virtue of humility really hit home with me. Additionally, I loved the chapter on the traits of a good follower. Dave Durand's work has helped many to beyond lives of mediocrity towards maximizing one's full potential. This book will help you to quantify your capacity to achieve great things in your life -- not simply financially, but more importantly in how you can look around yourself and serve others more effectively. With the help of this book, I'm learning what being a "winner" is really all about and challenging myself to move beyond the comfort of my own safety zone. Dave's book is colored by his faith commitments, but is not overtly religious in tone and would be an excellent choice for anyone looking to make lasting change for the better in your life.
