Publisher's Summary

Read by the author.

New York Times best-selling author Dave Hollis knows what it feels like to realize you’ve been sailing off of someone else’s map. He has taken control of his life and future, and he’s ready to share the lessons he learned along the way with people who are facing similar struggles.

Dave Hollis was recently confronted with the fact that he was living the life someone else wanted for him. After weathering a highly publicized personal crisis amid the backdrop of an international pandemic and navigating the enjoyable but unpredictable waters of being a single father to four kids, he has been forced to become the captain of his own life and is ready to teach others how to do the same.

Built for Courage will help you:

  • Dive deeper into the stories, values, and beliefs you attach yourself to and decide once and for all if they have credibility or if it’s time to cut bait.
  • Incorporate fundamental habits and routines specific to you and your circumstances that will flood your daily life with consistency, flexibility, simplicity, and integrity.
  • Identify and, if necessary, adjust your goals to ensure they are clear, don’t belong to other people, and are not contingent on immediate results.
  • Accept failure as the richest source of intelligence and help you reframe it as a requirement for your own progress and growth.
  • Much, much more.

Built for Courage gleans wisdom from sources vast and wide, as well as from the life experiences of Dave himself, to get you to the place you’re meant to go and become who you are meant to be, regardless of any anchor holding you back.

Accompanying graphics and interactive components are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Love! It’s like listening to a friend talk :)

I love listening to Dave talk, his enthusiasm and passion are inspiring and it feels like he is talking to you!

I also began an unexpected divorce journey this year and having the opportunity to hear how someone else navigated the rough waters of divorce and came out stronger on the other side was both comforting and inspiring. It was like listening to a friend talk about their experience and offering genuine advice from a place of love.

Honestly I could listen to him talk all day.

After listening to Dave, I always feel empowered and inspired and like I’m capable of achieving the goals he talks about.

The content was great, I really enjoyed listening to this book and definitely had some great take aways!

I’ve seen the negative feedback and I think these folks are entirely missing the intention of the book. Yes he may be writing from a place of privilege that many readers may not have but he is honest and upfront about it. It’s not as if he is trying to be someone he is not, as always he shows up as his authentic self and I love him for that.

An incredible listen with something for everyone

Love listing to Dave's narration, it is well read and incredible to have the author read his words. The book itself is incredible and no matter what stage of life you're in it has something to offer. We are all a work in progress and I appreciate Dave's honesty and vulnerability in sharing and giving to his readers.

An up and coming growth expert. It’s real and familiar

While Dave would be what some consider new to the scene of personal growth and development he is not new to life. He gets it. He takes his personal struggles and shares them in ways we can all learn from. This book is filled with heavy stuff, much of what we are often too afraid to face. He makes the conversation real. He is vulnerable in a way a man has been taught not to be. As a Mother of 4 boys I am thrilled to share this book with them and show them that men are allowed to be true and feel deep feelings. Some could even say “What real men are made of” - well done!!!
