Publisher's summary

Purpose is fundamental and gives life meaning. It gives us the will not just to live but to live long and well. In this new edition of his best-selling classic, legendary personal coach Richard Leider offers brand-new tools and techniques for unlocking it.

The third edition has been completely revised and updated. In addition to new stories, examples, and resources, it features four new chapters. "Purpose Across the Ages" looks at how purpose can evolve during our lives. "The 24-Hour Purpose Retreat" includes seven mind-opening questions to help you unlock your purpose. "The Purpose Checkup" offers a new tool for periodically evaluating the health of your purpose. And in "Can Science Explain Purpose?", we learn what researchers are discovering about how an increased sense of purpose can improve our health, healing, happiness, longevity, and productivity.

Purpose is an active expression of our values and our compassion for others - it makes us want to get up in the morning and add value to the world. Leider details a graceful, practical, and ultimately spiritual process for making it central to your life. This revitalized guide will help you integrate it into everything you do.

Good points, some audio errors along the way.

I found this book very inspirational and motivating. the only thing is that the chapters without looking at them would never know it continued reading without saying the chapters. or if I missed it honestly never heard it and I think I would like to know when I complete one without having to use the 2nd menu via the app to check recorded listening time. Over all great book, my girlfriend recommended it to me and I have seen positive change in my way of thinking and communicating because I am trying to see that. I also have been pursing my life theme and have found passion in things that I have lost along the way yet am gifted with. by whatever higher power or spiritual beliefs or lack there of it is a good read. my first book on Audible! Awesome, thanks Rich!

Narrators Voice a Dull Drone

It is hard to get past the narrators dull droning voice and pay attention to what is being said. I found my mind wondering to other subjects and not paying attention to what he was saying. I was able to make it through seven chapters and it still had not gotten to how to find purpose. It was all about other people's purposes and had nothing at all to do with me or my life. Some my find it helpful if they can get past the boredom of the first seven chapters (or more).
