Making purpose work Book

In this thoughtful and ambitious book, Franchee Harmon explores the challenges of change, evolution, and growth. Stepping away from the idea that purpose is defined as the reason for a company s existence, she suggests that purpose has to do with individuals being able to create meaning within their environments. Using examples from popular culture and drawing on studies from the sciences, Making Purpose Work explores how we go about creating meaning using the five elements of purpose: self-identity, expectations, unity, fear, and instincts. If you are interested in understanding your purpose in life, Making Purpose Work is the perfect alternative to books that simply provide rules for how not to get in trouble. Rather, it provides guidance on how to incorporate your purpose into creating a successful career path. With new insights into how beliefs affect our actions, this is the first work that communicates how belief plays out during the decision-making process. It serves as a compass, helping us understand the pitfalls of decision-making that blind us as we choose the varying detours along the road to success. Inspiring life-altering change, Making Purpose Work breaks down the factors that drive our motivation, helps us come to terms with our resistance to the unknown, and addresses our reluctance to get back on the path when we seem to have lost our way. Harmon provides knowledge rather than prescription, which helps readers take responsibility for improving the outcomes and meanings created in their lives.
