About the Book

Legendary personal coach Richard Leider, creator of the “purpose movement,” teams up with David Shapiro to bring new stories, new lessons, and an all-new purpose manifesto to a new generation of readers.

Purpose is an active expression of our values and our compassion for others—it makes us want to get up in the morning and add value to the world. The Power of Purpose details a graceful, practical, and ultimately spiritual process for making it central to your life. This revitalized guide will help you integrate it into everything you do.

This fourth edition has been completely revised and updated. With a new co-author, new stories and examples and resources, it taps into the broader need for purpose in our post-pandemic world.

With more than 40% new content, readers will discover new insights on purpose, a new chapter on Becoming a Purposeful Leader, and The Purpose Formula which includes mind-opening questions to help you unlock your purpose and to live a life of meaning and fulfillment.
