5.0 out of 5 stars What's My Purpose?, September 22, 2007

By	Lauren McCann (Australia) - See all my reviews

My brother gave me this book assuring me that I would connect with the words in a big way. I LOVE this book. Right from the beginning one is called to action by signing a contract with one's self to commit to completing the pages within the book. In doing the exercises, I found a deep sense of clarity and peace within my soul. Before reading this book thoughts of my true purpose in life would float around in my head without much depth and direction attached. That has all changed! I am so excited to pursue what I discovered, it's like a new beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing Book - For Personal & Organizational Use, September 23, 2007

By	Kim Stemler "Mindshop Unlimited, LLC" (CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We are living in both a country and a time of unparalleled material wealth, yet so many find their lives empty and meaningless. Jim White comes to the rescues with his book "What's My Purpose?". Jim offers the navigational tools needed to guide us out of the despair and hopelessness that many individuals find in both their professional and personal lives.
As a consultant working with both individuals and organizations, I am always looking for tools to improve an individual's effectiveness and thus organizational performance. When an employee is clear on their personal values and purpose, they can align their purpose with the organizations and thus their contribution becomes more impactful.
"What's My Purpose?" offers a simple and thoughtful step by step method to define and map out a life full of meaning and purpose. It is a simple yet sophisticated tool that can be applied both individually and organizationally.
I've found this book invaluable. I highly recommend "What's My Purpose" to both individuals who are committed to living a conscious life and to organizations who want to develop their human capital and thus improve organizational effectiveness.

This is more than a great read. You are an involved participant in a very personal way. Dr. White guides you through an easy to comprehend process of seeing the person you really are. This book gave me the chance to see myself honestly, forgive myself for not being someone that I am not, and recognize my true purpose. As you enter into this new level of consciousness, Dr. White takes you through the necessary processes to arrive at where you want to be. Very highly recommend this book for anyone.
