Your Life's Purpose: Uncover What Really Fulfills You by Michael J. Losier
4.0
I won a Kindle edition of this book through Goodreads Giveaways - and - it's a very quick read! This book won't help you identify a specific career or role -- but it will help you narrow down some qualities that help you feel more personally fulfilled.
The book is basically a guided exercise to walk through present/past/worst job/relationship/personal life so that you can identify what you most liked and disliked, then associate values such as "autonomy" and "creativity" and "safety."
After you go through the pro/con lists (4 items each) for each of the present/past/worst situations -- you tally up the strongest values on the list of 30 or so. Then, when an opportunity presents itself - you can ask "Does it help meet one of my top 4 fulfillment needs?"
It's really quite simple - and it's a great exercise for those who are stuck in a rut and not really in touch with what makes them tick. If you know yourself well - you may even find some surprises in going through this exercise.
It's a positive, affirming exercise -- can't hurt to try!!
