The Purpose Path: A Guide to Pursuing Your Authentic Life’s Work
Some of the world’s most successful companies–Google, Disney, Starbucks–are not simply profit- driven, but purpose-driven. They identify the purpose behind why they do what they do, and then let their “why” drive what they do every day. In his first book, The Purpose Path: A Guide to Pursuing Your Authentic Life’s Work, Nicholas Pearce, Ph.D. argues that we all should do the same: discover our “why” and commit to the journey of aligning our daily work with our life’s work. The book is organized around five key questions: 1) What is success?; 2) Who am I?; 3) Why am I here?; 4) Am I running the right race?; and 5) Am I running the race well? The Purpose Path is for people in any field who long to have more than just a job or a career, but a true vocation that allows them to “connect their soul with their role.”
