Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

We all possess a unique ability to do the work we were made for. Concise and easy to read, and including numerous stories of people living on purpose, The Power of Purpose is a a remarkable tool to help you find your calling, an original guide to discovering the work you love to do.

Can there be more to life than just going to work everyday and doing your job? Is there work that is unique to you? Is there a job that you are uniquely called to do? In The Power of Purpose, Dick Leider provides a practical process for answering these questions and creating a life filled with meaning and passion.

We all possess a unique intelligence, a unique ability to do the work we were made for. The Power of Purpose is a remarkable tool to help you discover your calling. Concise and easy to read, based on many interviews with people of all ages, and including numerous stories of people living on purpose, The Power of Purpose is an original guide to discovering the work you love to do.

Leider examines the critical importance of a sense of purpose in achieving a full, productive, and contributory working life, and offers a detailed, practical process for finding your calling.

"Purpose" and "Calling" seem, at first glance, grand words, best reserved for a gifted few. But we all posses an ability to do the work we were made for. The Power of Purpose is an original guide to discovering your unique calling.

Bestselling author and career counselor Richard Leider offers a thoroughly relevant discussion of the call to work. He provides a practical process for creating meaning in your life and work. He focuses on living and working from the inside out, grounding the common sense of soul work in the common practice of everyday life.

If you've ever wondered why you get up on Monday morning, The Power of Purpose will help you find the answer to that question and integrate it into the whole of your life.
