Joseph Safina’s Driven: From Racing Tracks to Wall Street is a Powerful Memoir that Shares His Journey of Triumph, Loss, and Redemption

January 15 12:22 2025
A pulse-pounding tale of ambition, resilience and unyielding spirit, Driven chronicles Joseph Safina’s meteoric rise and harrowing falls across three high-octane arenas—professional race car driving, Wall Street, and the music industry. The book also recently became a #1 Amazon Bestseller.

Joseph Safina has led a very untypical, but rewarding life. His passion for racing cars led him into a series of adrenaline-fueled triumphs and heart-wrenching setbacks and has guided him ever since. Now, he’s written a memoir full of personal and professional lessons from his early entrepreneurial beginnings, to racing high-performance cars, becoming the youngest owner of a broker-dealer in Wall Street history, earning a wall filled with gold records from his time in the music business, and more. Safina’s hope is by sharing what he’s learned in both life and business, he can encourage others to live their best lives too.

I have raced cars professionally, been in serious racing accidents, flown airplanes, crashed airplanes, made hundreds of millions of dollars, lost everything, picked myself up off the floor, and then made all that money back again and then some…I wanted to write down everything I’ve experienced in hopes that after reading about my adventures, you’ll create your own wonderful stories,” says Safina. A powerful reminder that the true measure of a person lies not in their victories, but in their ability to rise from the ashes and chase their dreams once again, Safina serves as a real-life example of the positive actions we can all take to create a better life—and a better world.

Written with Safina’s rare blend of humility, dynamism and honesty, the book offers an eye-opening look at what it takes to achieve success in any field. “I embraced my fears early on, overcame them, and moved forward with the confidence that I would succeed—even when it seemed I wouldn’t,” says Safina. Whether he was navigating the complexities of the finance world, tearing down the racetrack or crafting provocative art, he did so with intensity, passion and purpose, showing that it is possible to be more than just one thing. “If you truly apply yourself at doing something you love, you’ll find a way to be successful.”

Driven has received positive reviews from well-renowned experts, authors, and reviewers around the world. Book Excellence writes, “Driven is not just a memoir but an eye-opening look at unbridled ambition, heart-wrenching failure, and the resilience in mind and spirit required to rebuild. It’s a powerful true story for dreamers, risk-takers, and anyone who has ever faced the abyss and dared to step forward. There are very few memoirs that encompass the raw energy of a life lived at full throttle, so if you’re looking for a book filled with excitement, adventure, adrenaline, and heart, Driven is sure to become your next favorite read.”
