Summary

So many of us today feel like we’re merely existing instead of thriving - and that’s where a purpose-oriented mind-set comes in. Living with purpose means using your gifts, in keeping with your values, to make a positive impact on the lives of others. But it’s not easy. Half the work of cultivating greater purpose in life involves facing personal and profound questions. What matters most to me? What do I value in other people, and why? What positive change do I want to see in the world?

Finding Your Purpose is designed to help answer questions like these and to put you on the path to meaning. Over the span of 10 engaging, empowering lessons, Professor Christine B. Whelan translates academic research into a program for making a difference in your everyday life, giving you a guidebook for anticipating - and navigating - the practical and emotional obstacles that may stand in the way of discovering your purpose. Whether you’re pushed by pain to make a change in your life or simply intrigued by the possibility of an even better life, this Audible Original is about possibilities and purpose.

It is, ultimately, an Audible Original made just for you.

Useful and practical

Direct no fuss explanation, good length audio book. Easy to follow. Good exercise with timely reminders of key points without over repetitive. In fact, I found it very useful that I listened to a few chapters a couple of times.

Worth Read

This book clarified some key things for me and provides some tools for anyone willing to look for real solutions to their disillusionment on life's purpose. An energetic reader and excellent production. Quite perky and positive if you ask me.

Nothing new but nice.

it was a good listen, but i didn't find anything different. Often or always focused on other people and family. the last chapter? I I totally disagree to share my projects and goals. Is good for ordinary people.

Inspiring but practical

The book takes you through practical steps to actually help you to get a purpose and explains you how it works dissipating a lot of wrong assumptions, at least for me.

Surprisingly good

Once you get past the first few lectures this is really life changing stuff.

Stick with it. It’s a real gift if you’ve got the commitment to do the exercises for real rather than just listening to the lectures.

Thankyou Christine.

Pretty Interesting

I listened to the audio version of this book and the narration was clear and easy to follow. I also enjoyed and found the reflective tasks helpful. I liked the link between chapters and the referring back in places. However at one stage the author classes reading and writing basic skills that don't really count on a skills list. And then moves on. Reading and writing are significant skills that not everyone has. There's no acknowledgement of the challenge in developing this skill. Speaking as a dyslexic it is disappointing to see this ablist opinion being shared here.

My purpose

Very informative and inspiring to find my purpose in life. I always seem to put everything off to the next day, but the key is just start right now. This lecture has taught me a lot. My path is more clearer now. Thank you Christine Whelan for this. You've helped a lot!

Great content, missing workbook

Great content, missing workbook. An accompanying PDF with the exercises would have been really useful
