Higher Purpose: How to Find More Inspiration, Meaning, and Purpose in Your Life by Robert Holden
At some stage we all stop to wonder why we are here. Do I have some destiny to discover and fulfil, or is it up to me to create my life’s meaning?
Robert Holden addresses these questions with warmth and humour, illustrating his points with appropriate anecdotes from his own life. He identifies three interwoven levels of purpose and provides strategies to help the reader identify their own. Rather than striving to achieve something in the future, Holden describes our purpose as something we discover by paying attention to what lights us up and gives us satisfaction right now, in the present.
This book combines wisdom from psychology, philosophy and spiritual traditions, with pertinent quotes highlighted throughout. It’s a pleasure to read, whether in short snippets or long relaxing reading sessions over a cup of tea. A beautiful book, highly recommended.
