A Man’s Purpose: Built for More
Chris Hynds
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
What if the version of you the world sees isn’t the man you know you were meant to be?
And what if the silent battle you’ve been fighting isn’t a weakness… but a wake-up call?
A Man’s Purpose: Built for More is a bold, grounded roadmap for men who look successful on the outside yet feel disconnected on the inside. This isn’t hype or surface-level motivation. It’s a straight-talk blueprint for breaking toxic mindsets, escaping endless grind, and reclaiming meaning through the Real Work: Mind, Body, Emotion, Spirit.
Inside, you’ll confront the hidden crisis most men never name: the mask of strength, silent burnout, and slow loss of identity behind achievement, and learn how to reverse it. You’ll discover how to rebuild purpose, develop emotional intelligence without losing your edge, take ownership without blame, and lead your life with clarity and authentic strength.
Written from lived experience in high-pressure industries, sobriety, burnout, and rebuilding, Chris Hynds doesn’t speak from theory; he speaks from the trenches.
This isn’t about “fixing” you because you’re not broken. You’re buried.
If you’ve ever thought, “Is this all there is?” or “Now what"?
This is your answer.
You were built for more than survival.
And this book shows you how to begin.
