The Four Purposes of Life: Finding Meaning and Direction in a Changing World

This book can generate a quantum leap in self-knowledge, insight and wisdom.

by Dan Millman

This book is for anyone seeking deeper insight into themselves and their lives, especially those at a crossroads and facing a challenge or change when past approaches no longer work.

For many of us, life seems like a puzzle with missing pieces. We form plans and change them; we choose one path then another, trying to find the right mate and career, hoping that we have made the right decision and that it will all work out. A

t some point, we ask ourselves the central question: What is the purpose of my life?

Few writers approach the topic of life purpose with the clarity of Millman, who distills decades of exploration and experience into a concise map of what we are here to accomplish on our life’s journey. These four purposes — learning life’s lessons, finding your career and calling, discovering your life path and attending to this arising moment — will bring your life into sharper focus. They will reveal the value of everyday challenges in relationships, health, work and money; how to make wiser decisions in career and relationships; our 12 required courses in the school of life; a mysterious system that clarifies your hidden calling; and keys to mastering the most important purpose of all.

This book can generate a quantum leap in self-knowledge, insight and wisdom.
