Review
Tim Kelley gives us all a road map for the discovery of our true purpose in life. No other book that I have ever come across lays out the journey in such a thoughtful, challenging, and motivating way. If you want a life filled with meaning and purpose, let Tim be your guide. You won't be disappointed! --Howard Behar, Former president of Starbucks Coffee
Tim Kelley's work is of the highest caliber. His insight, precision, and skill shine out from a field that is typically hazy. If you are called to explore the realm of purpose, I know of no better guide than Tim. --Helen Palmer, Best-selling author of The Enneagram
What Einstein did for physics and Gutenberg did for printing, True Purpose does for purpose. You'll discover that we've been in nursery school with respect to what we know and how we access purpose. This book puts us into college. Whether you know your purpose or not, I urge you to read this book and do its exercises. It will put you on a path of magic and blessings. True Purpose will be the standard for years to come. Well done, Tim. --Martin Rutte, Co-editor of Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work and Founder of Project Heaven on Earth

This book is easy to read and reminds you about how capable and unique you can be. Lot of this content also seems obvious but it is a good book to pick up every year or so to keep your "purpose" going. I suggest reading and keeping this book on Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation) or an iPad [...]. Another recommendation is: The Power of Purpose: Creating Meaning in Your Life and Work

Tim Kelley gives lots of ideas for bypassing the cognitive mind when desiring to search for deeper purpose in your career life. As a long term practicing psychotherapist and very spiritual person, it was overly instructional and simplistic for my taste. I read the book as I am also training in Strategic Intervention coaching and a loved one recommended it. I do believe the book would be excellent for highly functional, successful Type A's who want to move beyond a standard business paradigm.

Tim Kelley is quite thorough in his approach to this subject -- covering many bases, so that folks from different spiritual (or agnostic/atheistic) backgrounds can find just the right tools for themselves. His writing style is clear and simple. With a subject this deep, I think that is a perfect approach ... most of us are kind of babes in the woods in this realm, so plain, straightforward language really works great, particularly for left-brain thinkers.
I've had the book for several weeks, and am only part-way through it, yet I already have a solid knowing of my True Purpose. It's actually quite similar to the author's -- I believe I am here to help others find their way, follow their hearts and desires, and live lives that are full of joy and meaning. With the help of his companion CD, I've also become clear on what my next "mission" is -- leading a yoga teacher training that focuses on living one's dharma, or life's purpose. I've actually been informally guiding students in this way for some time, and this book is providing me some wonderful insights and tools to be even more effective in this role.

Some of the excercises are difficult because I have do not have experience focusing on passionate memories. It is a great journey to take though! Only 1/2 way through but excited to complete. Highly recommend sharing your journey with a friend.

I have been on this path for years now both learning and teaching, and been fortunate enough to get my hands on just about every book, article, movie, etc... dealing with life purpose. Tim's book by far is the best resource out there for anyone on the journey. You won't find another book anywhere that's as complete, so don't even bother! If you're looking for your life's purpose, order this now and get started!
