Summary

“If you want to discover and live your purpose, read Nicholas Pearce’s book. Not only will it inspire you to become who you were born to be - it will also will show you how.” (Ken Blanchard, New York Times best-selling coauthor of The One Minute Manager)

This program includes a foreword read by Parker J. Palmer.

How to build a meaningful career with a moral center and a purpose in the world.

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 let their "why" drive what they do every day. 

Nicholas Pearce 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 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. 

The Purpose Path is organized around five key questions:   

  • What is success?  
  • Who am I?  
  • Why am I here?  
  • Am I running the right race?  
  • Am I running the race well?   

Nicholas Pearce sits at the unconventional intersection of academia, business, and faith. With examples and advice, he shows how he and other people in a variety of fields and at different life stages have asked and answered these five questions in order to start, shape, or even radically change their careers.   

Inspiring, thought-provoking, and practical, The Purpose Path is an essential audioook for anyone who seeks the clarity and courage to advance their authentic life's work every day.

Potential: yes. Enjoyable: no.

High potential if it was not for the following: Highly repetative. The author's religios views are directly imposed on the listener without any filtering (which alone can be a deal breaker for smb. non-religious). And not without the help of the narration style: sounding quite self-righteous and schoolmasterish at times. And no, a foreword by. P. Palmer unfortunately does not warrant a P. Palmer - class- read/listen.

Nothing new here, just a preacher

This didn't help me and I couldn't enjoy it. The author is clearly more preacher than business school lecturer, and it shows in the content and the monotone, patronising delivery.

I got to a section analysing Oprah Winfrey as the ultimate model of someone living their life's purpose and that was enough for me!
