“Some of us, either through a life experience, inner drive, or other catalyst, end up making the choice to discover and listen to our own inner truth.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
Wholehearted weaves together Adnan H. Mirza’s experiences from across five continents, ranging from racing sailplanes across the sky with the best pilots in the world, to his adventures on Wall Street with legendary traders, to his journeys into the intriguing world of healthcare and life sciences.
Adnan always had a natural inclination to explore beyond the boundaries of modern society. Through a chance encounter with experiencing “the zone” in a national sporting event, Adnan became fascinated with how he could utilise the inner world of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and intentions to influence the outer world of not only competitive sports but also trading and entrepreneurship.
Wholehearted details a set of seven principles that are the crossroads of entrepreneurship, high performance, and spirituality - helping readers discover their own paths to finding purpose, taking the leap, and doing the best work of their lives.
