You Be Purposeful Too is for anyone at work who wants their work to connect with what matters most to them, and to live and work with intention.
It draws on research on meaning and purpose, which treats purpose as both a basic human need and a capacity that can be developed. It helps you find meaning and direction, and to turn that sense of purpose into concrete choices and goals.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow ten dimensions, among them Life Purpose Discovery, Meaning-Making, Contribution and Service, Values Clarification, Calling and Vocation, Intentional Living, and Direction and Goals.
On WorkSmart4Life it sits on the WorkSmart library shelf, and it is one of the editions The Edge can give as a level reward for practice in Craft courses, the move about shaping the job you already have. The sales page suggests a ten-week journey, one dimension a week, so I suggest you begin with Life Purpose Discovery. In week seven, Calling and Vocation links purpose directly to your work and roles.
