It’s wonderful to be able to share something that I think can really make a difference in people's lives. I remember a conversation I had with a young woman who felt trapped in her job. She felt like she was just going through the motions, not feeling connected to what she was doing. She felt empty. It's a feeling so many of us experience at some point. This book grew out of that very feeling – the desire to understand what truly motivates us, and how to find work that feels meaningful. It builds on ideas explored previously, aiming to help you discover the reason behind what you do, and how to use that to create a more inspiring and fulfilling life, both at work and beyond. It's about more than just a job; it's about finding purpose and feeling connected to something bigger than yourself. It’s a guide to finding that “why” that gets you out of bed in the morning, excited to face the day. The goal is to help you feel that sense of purpose, that feeling of being safe and fulfilled, not as a luxury, but as something you are entitled to.
This book is meant to be a practical toolkit for anyone wanting to find more joy and meaning in their work. It answers a question I've heard repeatedly: "How can I actually use these ideas in my day-to-day life?" It’s not just about understanding the concept of “why”; it's about actively discovering your own “why” and then using it to guide your decisions and actions. It's a hands-on guide created with help from colleagues, offering detailed exercises to help you navigate the process. The book addresses common challenges that arise when people try to find their "why," like what to do if your reason sounds similar to a competitor’s, or if you feel like your work doesn’t quite match your purpose. It even deals with situations where a team struggles to find a shared "why." The exercises provided are designed for everyone, from someone just starting out in their career to a CEO leading a large company. The goal is to help individuals and teams alike find a path toward lasting success and fulfillment. It’s about creating a work environment where people feel inspired and valued, and where they can contribute their best selves.
It’s a journey that everyone can take, regardless of their profession or experience level. There's a downloadable guide included to help you work through the exercises at your own pace. It's an invitation to join a larger movement, a community of people striving to create a world where more people find joy and purpose in their work. It's a reminder that we all deserve to feel inspired, safe, and fulfilled, and that finding your “why” is the first step toward achieving that. It is an encouragement to inspire others and build a world where everyone can find their reason for being.
Sometimes, I think about those moments when we feel…lost. Not necessarily lost in a place, but lost in what we’re doing. I’m sure many of you have felt that way – going through the motions, feeling disconnected from your work, and wondering if there’s something more. I remember talking to a young woman who felt exactly that. She was doing a job she thought she should be doing, but it didn't fill her up. It didn't make her excited to get out of bed in the morning. It just felt…empty. That conversation really stuck with me. It made me think about how many people are out there feeling that same way, just longing for something more meaningful in their lives. This is a book born from that longing, a desire to understand what truly drives us and how we can find work that feels like a real purpose. It's about more than just having a job; it’s about feeling connected to something bigger than yourself, something that gives your days meaning. It’s a reminder that we all deserve to feel inspired and safe, and that finding that reason – that “why” – is a fundamental part of living a full and happy life. It’s about understanding that fulfillment isn’t a luxury; it’s something we’re all entitled to. It's about recognizing that you have a right to feel that spark, that joy in what you do, and that it's okay to seek it out.
This isn’t just about thinking about your purpose; it’s about doing something about it. I’m often asked, "Okay, I understand the idea, but how do I actually use it in my day-to-day life?" That's the question this book tackles head-on. It’s a practical guide, packed with exercises to help you uncover your own “why.” It anticipates the challenges you might face – maybe your reason sounds too similar to someone else’s, or maybe your work doesn't quite align with what you think your purpose should be. It even offers solutions for teams who are struggling to find a shared sense of purpose. These exercises are designed to be accessible to everyone, whether you’re just starting out in your career or you’re leading a company. The goal is to provide you with the tools and the support you need to find a path toward lasting success and fulfillment. It’s not about a quick fix; it’s about creating a way of working and living that truly inspires you and those around you. It’s about building a work environment where people feel valued, and where they can bring their best selves to the table every day.
Ultimately, this is a journey we can all take. It doesn't matter what you do for a living or how much experience you have; everyone can benefit from taking the time to explore their purpose. There's a handy guide to accompany the book, so you can work through the exercises at your own speed. It’s an invitation to become part of a growing community of people who are committed to finding joy and meaning in their work. More than that, it's a call to inspire others and help create a world where everyone can discover their own reason for being. It's a reminder that we all deserve to feel inspired, safe, and fulfilled, and that finding your "why" is the very first step on that journey.
