Download or read book Name Your Passion written by Paul Kordis and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book, first and foremost, about personal purpose - the idea that each of us has a very specific, unique, and important reason for being here. When we pursue our purpose and express it in our activities and our relationships, we make our greatest contribution and experience our greatest joy. It's also a book about work. Because in today's workplace, if your job doesn't feed your soul, it just might eat you alive. How do you find one of those "soul feeding" jobs? The first step is to figure out your personal purpose - that unique and essential contribution that only you can make, and what you'd love to do if you knew you could do it - and align your work with it. All the information you need to identify and clarify your purpose is securely stored in your experience, your relationships, your dreams, and your feelings. All you need to do is extract the clues and fit them together. And that's what this book is all about. Name Your Passion is a friend and guide along the way to discovering what you'd love to do with your life and how to do it. It's also the story of someone who, like many of us, woke up one day to find that he'd done everything he thought he was supposed to do but was no longer happy. It also contains 130 separate "explorations" to help you discover your own personal purpose and build a detailed plan to make it happen. It's a map, a companion, and a detective manual for people who've decided to make a real difference in the world and have a great time doing it!

Download or read book Life on Purpose written by Victor J. Strecher and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneer in the field of behavioral science delivers a groundbreaking work that shows how finding your purpose in life leads to better health and overall happiness. Your life is a boat. You need a rudder. But it doesn’t matter how much wind is in your sails if you’re not steering toward a harbor—an ultimate purpose in your life. While the greatest philosophers have pondered purpose for centuries, today it has been shown to have a concrete impact on our health. Recent studies into Alzheimer’s, heart disease, stroke, depression, functional brain imaging, and measurement of DNA repair are shedding new light on how and why purpose benefits our lives. Going beyond the fads, opinions, and false hopes of “expert” self-help books, Life on Purpose explores the incredible connection between purposeful living and the latest scientific evidence on quality of life and longevity. Drawing on ancient and modern philosophy, literature, psychology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and neuroscience, as well as his experience in public health research, Dr. Vic Strecher reveals the elements necessary for a purposeful life and how to acquire them, and outlines an elegant strategy for improving energy, willpower, and long-term happiness, and well-being. He integrates these core themes into his own personal story—a tragedy that led him to reconsider his own life—and how a deeper understanding of purposeful living helped him not only survive, but thrive. Illuminating, accessible, and authentically grounded in real people’s experiences, Life on Purpose is essential reading for everyone seeking lasting improvement in their lives.

Download or read book Higher Purpose written by Robert Holden and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are you here? What is life for? What are you meant to do? Robert Holden helps you go from looking for your purpose to living it. (Hint: It’s not just about you.) "The best book on purpose I've ever read! Accept this invitation to awaken to the very reason you're here on Earth." — Mike Dooley, New York Times best-selling author of Infinite Possibilities and Life on Earth "How do I find my life’s purpose?" In the 10-year run of Robert Holden's call-in radio show, Shift Happens!, his listeners asked that question more often than any other, by far. It seems everybody is looking for their purpose, and yet we all struggle to recognize it and live it. In the paperback edition of Higher Purpose, Holden takes readers on an epic journey of self-discovery that includes the hero’s journey with Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung's work on true vocation, Victor Frankl's search for meaning, a pilgrimage with St. Francis of Assisi, the poetry of Wordsworth and Rilke, and much more. The journey has four stages: "The Call" explores "the calling" inside you to live a more meaningful life. "The Path" helps you to realize what inspires you, what brings you alive, to follow your joy, and to do more of what you love. "The Ordeal" tackles the inner blocks, the road of trials, and challenges you must overcome to live your higher purpose. "The Victory" encourages you to not betray yourself, to "sing your whole song," and to keep on saying YES to your soul's high adventure. In Higher Purpose, Holden explores three distinct levels of purpose: your unique purpose, a shared purpose, and the greater purpose of life. He offers inquiries, meditations, and journaling exercises to help you live your purpose every day. And he shares stories from his own life and conversations with a host of remarkable people—Maya Angelou, Louise Hay, Jean Houston, Matthew Fox, Robert Thurman, Caroline Myss, Andrew Harvey, Wayne Dyer, Oprah Winfrey, and more. "I hope Robert Holden's beautiful books, like this one . . . keep reaching more and more people and aid their heart to unfurl." — Daniel Ladinsky, author of The Gift and The Subject Tonight Is Love

Download or read book The Purpose Finder written by Tosin Adewumi and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some say purpose is not something we find, but rather something we're born with. Others think purpose is something you just know you have. What I can tell you is that purpose is in all of us-it's in our lives and the work we do if we choose to go after the life and work that reveals it. It is not enough to believe that we were born with purpose. Although some people may have the benefit of just knowing what their life's purpose is, for most of us, our purpose is something we have to actively search out and live out. To have a purpose in life and work means to have an understanding of who we are and the work we are designed to do...and that in turn calls for some important discoveries.

Download or read book Life Coach Discover Your Purpose written by Dan Miller and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is written rule that some people will succeed no matter how little they try and that others will fail irrespective of how hard they try. The truth is we all live in an existential framework where we are presented with opportunities to pursue our purpose. Despite the odds that are stacked against a considerable portion of humanity, a few people have successfully attained their goals. One interesting thing is that these people do not necessarily come from privileged backgrounds but they have one thing in common; they were able to seize the opportunities available, work hard and ultimately they became prosperous. They live purpose driven lives. When you look at the available data on the lives of successful people, you will find out that because of their determination, they have formed a solid support system and have a well researched and sophisticated toolkit that they use to confront challenges. Determined people are not successful by default but rather they have trained themselves to always think and troubleshoot before undertaking projects and pursuing a certain cause. In their toolkit lie so many things, amongst them resourceful people and mentors, ways to cope with uncertainty and negativity, positive visualizations, goal setting techniques and alternative course of actions. With this determination, you cannot afford to scroll through life without a clear understanding of your inner potential, goals and personal strengths. To understand your purpose, you have to set aside time to think deeply about the things that make you happy when you do them. This is your path of passion and the moment you discover it, pursue it to the very end. In your quest to live a purposeful life, you should zero in on the fundamental components that motivate you so that you do not spend your entire lifetime aimlessly on something that is not in sync with your potential. It is disastrous to waste your time chasing after the wrong goals whether in life, career or business. Instead, you need to find some quality time and ask yourself some soul-searching questions. Find out whether you are currently happy in your life. What can you do to improve it? Take care of unfinished business and find things you are passionate about. Sometimes the light that you need to shine on your path is right within you. It is known as the instinct. Remember the words of Edgar Allan Poe, "If you run out of ideas, follow the road; you will get there.

Download or read book Well Being written by Marc H. Bornstein and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-02-26 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume derived from original presentations given at a conference in Atlanta, Georgia, under the auspices of the Center for Child Well-Being. Scholars, practitioners, public health professionals, and principals in the child development community convened to address a science-based framework for elements of well-being and how the elements might be developed across the life course. Integrating physical, cognitive, and social-emotional domains, Well-Being is the first scientific book to consider well-being holistically. Focusing on a set of core strengths grouped within these three domains, the book also includes a fourth section on developmental strengths through adulthood that broadly examines a continuum of health and development, as well as transitions in well-being. This volume takes a developmental perspective across the life course, describing foundational strengths for well-being--the capacities that can be actively developed, supported, or learned. These foundational strengths--problem solving, emotional regulation, and physical safety--are the positive underpinnings of early child health and development, as well as ongoing well-being across the life course. Working together and blending their respective disciplinary perspectives and expertise, 53 experts in psychology, sociology, child development, and medicine have contributed to the book.
