I always appreciate, learn, and relearn the work of Richard Leider. His work on purpose as well as his collaboration with David Shapiro is inspiring. I love how they bottom line the purpose of life into two words: To Grow & To Give. This really speaks to me.
Here are a couple of quotes:
" Purpose is our why--why to get up in the morning."
"As we age, we find ourselves faced with this choice: get old or grow old."
Steps to unlock your purpose:
1) Find out how you want to help 2) Find out who you want to help 3) Find out what energized you (and what drains you)
"... the future belongs to the learns, not the knowers."
"Breakdowns often precede breakthroughs."
"Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put into every heart. -- Rumi
"What is life asking of me now?"
Three Ultimate Questions: 1) What do you think happens when you die? 2) Who would you like to die? 3) What gifts do you want to leave the world before you die?

A compendium of platitudes. Nothing insightful here.
The lessons are good but the writing was horribly dry and a chore to slog through.
slow-paced
