The Power of Purpose: Creating Meaning in Your Life and Work

""Purpose"" and ""calling"" seem at first to be grand words, applicable to only a gifted few. But career coach Richard Leider argues that everyone possesses a true calling, as well as the unique talents needed to support it. Filled with useful tools for self-assessment, The Power of Purpose helps readers uncover their own talents and aspirations, and shows how to incorporate ""the common sense of soul"" into everyday life. Interviews with people of all ages provide inspiring examples of those who have created lives filled with meaning and passion.
