Publisher's 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.

One of the greatest books on purpose of all time.

Best book ever, it's more of a lecture yet highly engaging and practical. A book that can be read over and over.

Typical Self-Help Banality

This might be of use to very young people or those completely unused to reflection but I found it superficial and consider its science-heavy angle misguided.

Quintessential self help book

If you haven’t directed any thinking to this topic or need to clarify your life purpose then go no further for an insightful scientific explanation of what makes us effective humans or not. A good blend of theory & practice. Though nothing new here it a powerful tool nevertheless. Great course content & really enjoyed it.

More useful than Find Your Why

A succinct, practice approach to finding your purpose.
Nicely structured, short chapters with simple to do lists.
I’ve listened through once and will go through again.
Would be better if there was an accompanying work book, but then can’t complain as this was included in my membership!
I’ll likely purchase one of Christine Whelan’s paperbacks.
In summary great value, practical approach to finding and articulating your purpose.
