Description
A book for men searching for a deeper purpose.
In this urgent, heartfelt self-improvement memoir by leading founder and simplifier Rick Walker, young men are offered 9 powerful steps to build the most meaningful life imaginable.
This is your moment.
Dr. Ben Carson calls this: “A profound, refreshing, and triumphantly hopeful way of thinking.”
Imagine it: Unbeatable focus.
Unstoppable passion.
Incredible resilience.
Honorable leadership.
A flourishing family.
And more-much more.
Everything you need for a life of true and deep meaning.The once impossible is now accessible. In 9 Steps.
Rick wants to rip away the comfort now enslaving your potential. He discovered the steps the hard way. Hidden where he least wanted to look:
The abandoned genius of ancients.
The hard-won wisdom of warriors.
The overlooked art of the masters.
And, not surprisingly, within his own failures.
Most self improvement books are focused on happiness. However, this self help book for men is focused on something much more important: meaning. The steps in this book help men in their personal development and their purpose development.
With a foreword by US Representative and Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw, this high-energy calling uplifts men to the next level of their manhood.
Dr. John Vervaeke praises this book: “I admire both Walker’s journey and this wonderful book that shares that journey with others so that they can undertake something similar.”
To walk these steps is to undergo a profound evolution, as Rick personally experienced and now shares for the first time. Your personal journey begins now. Transformation starts with a single step.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
“A profound, refreshing, and triumphantly hopeful way of thinking.”
Dr. Ben Carson
17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
“Walker weaves together wisdom from ancient philosophy, authenticity from his personal autobiography and a profound sense of reverence from the Christian tradition to reflect upon what it means to become a good man leading a meaningful life. However, this is not a theoretical text. Although informed by relevant theory it is about those practices that organically emerged in his quest to find that pathway of transformation to becoming a good man living a good life in a way that is good for others. I admire both Walker’s journey and this wonderful book that shares that journey with others so that they can undertake something similar.”

“A thought-provoking and thoroughly valuable read! Packed with timeless advice drawn from the lessons of historical giants, Christian wisdom and the author’s own authentic experiences.”

“These 9 steps are a catalyst for self-improvement told in a candid and honest manner.”

“A very worthwhile and meaningful read! The message is clear. Every step you take or don’t take in your life should be considered an important choice point. You are either moving toward or away from where you imagine that you could be. Love the innovative roadmap this book gives not just for outwardly success, but for inward peace!”
Tony Buzbee
Famed Attorney
“Many young men seek role models today. They are wise to do so. Rick has poured his life and his wisdom into this book. It's structured and studded with bullet points and quotes to be accessible. It is filled with contemporary experience and ancient wisdom. It is by a doer, not a pontificator. People will be blessed by this book.
If you are a young man seeking meaning, wisdom and to be impactful, this book is for you.”

“Rick is a leader and a truth-teller. He’s a businessman, yes, but also a philosopher and a scholar. You will not find tired old platitudes in his writing, because Rick is someone who has actually bothered to think original thoughts, a rarity in today’s literature. In 9 Steps, he reveals the steps that brought him, and countless others, into a life of purpose.”
Dan Crenshaw
US Congressman / Navy SEAL (Foreword)
