When we think of our life's purpose, we often think of a fulfilling career or love relationship, but true propose in life can be much more than this. Many of us are successful in these areas yet our true purpose here on earth still eludes us.
'True North' offers a guide to discovering your true life's purpose. Using the metaphor of a boat at sea, we are all in search of "true north", in order to chart our best path in life.
This book clarifies the difference between goals and purpose, arguing that "goals are what we want from life, whereas purpose is what we give back to life". What do you give back to life? Can you give more than you presently do without feeling depleted by those around you?
The book also:
- Highlights the need for meaningful work
- Helps you to map your own path to fulfillment
- Clarifies what you can do when life purpose eludes you
- Reveals some of the influences which may have steered you away from your purpose
