The Connection: Link Your Deepest Passion, Purpose, and Actions to Make a Difference in the World

In this landmark book, leadership guru Anthony Silard takes a holistic view of success that makes sense in a modern world. With the proliferation of texting, emails, smart phones, and more, our home lives have begun to look a lot like work and now, more than ever, people crave deep connections and fulfillment in both their personal and professional lives. The Connection provides ways to handle the unprecedented information flow, increased loneliness, and lack of purpose that so often characterize modern culture. The Connection is a valuable resource for people who wish to live with value and purpose and develop a more centered, directed, and resilient approach to life.

With a simple set of exercises, Silard shows you how to bring worth and drive to every aspect of your life by transforming your lofty dreams into concrete, deadline-driven goals that align your deepest values with your everyday existence. Silard will help you understand the true source of your passion and motivation to build a foundation for change, and, ultimately, the skills to cultivate a truly authentic life.

The Connection includes dozens of specific tools and strategies, all enhanced with personal examples, inspiring quotes, and insightful anecdotes to offer an entertaining and life-changing read.
