NEW EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED
We all want to find our purpose—our reason for getting up in the morning. Purpose is fundamental to human life. It is what makes us human. Purpose gives us the will not just to live but to live long and well. The good news is, purpose isn’t a grand concept reserved for a gifted few but something each one of us already possesses, needing only to be uncovered.
Twenty-five years after the publication of the first edition, legendary personal coach Richard Leider has completely rethought and revamped his bestselling classic on realizing what truly makes your life worth living. Revised, expanded, and updated throughout, the second edition features new chapters, new stories, and new tools and resources.
Purpose, Leider explains, is nothing more or less than a mindset. It is a choice you make every day to bring who you are at your core to whatever you are doing. Citing a wealth of new research proving that purpose is key to longevity, Leider details a graceful, practical, and ultimately spiritual process for making your unique purpose central to your life. This revitalized guide will help you find your reason to get up in the morning and integrate it into everything you do.
