TITLE: “The Power of Purpose: Find Meaning, Live Longer, Better”
One of the great secrets of happiness–and finding fulfillment–is living with a sense of purpose. People who wake up with a sense of purpose live up to seven years longer than those who don’t.
But if you don’t know your purpose, how can you find it? According to Richard Leider, author of “The Power of Purpose,” the process isn’t as complicated as it might seem. Purpose is fundamental and gives life meaning. It gives us the will not just to live but to live long and well.
In the new edition of his bestselling classic, legendary personal coach Richard Leider offers brand-new tools and techniques for unlocking it. 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.
