Quiet Drift
Why successful people lose their way — and how to find your way back.
About Chris
Chris DeLeenheer is a husband to Libby, a father to four daughters, and a faith-first leader whose life moves between building operating companies, training hard miles, and trying to follow Jesus honestly. He writes and runs out of Waco, Texas, and has spent the last decade quietly learning what it costs a successful man to stay awake — and what it takes, day by day, to find his way back. Quiet Drift is the book from that journey.

Why successful people lose their way — and how to find your way back.
A book for men who are quietly winning on the outside and quietly disappearing on the inside. Written by someone who did the drifting, did the returning, and still has to practice both, daily — for the leaders, fathers, and athletes trying to find their way back.
