Helping Our Children Find Their Calling in Life

Ivaylo Durmonski

I highly recommend this book to parents with kids who feel lost in the world. And not only!

If you, yourself, feel unmotivated and uninspired, read this book. It will help you shape a noble goal. Challenge you with difficult questions that will allow you to look at problems from a different perspective.

I consider Life of Purpose a useful guide that can help you turn your inexperienced youngsters into eager-to-learn risk-takers with a clear mission and agenda.

Key takeaway?

Find a meaningful purpose in your life.

Without a purpose, you will feel unworthy. Demotivated. Traumatized.

Purpose is the driving force. The key motivator. The thing that will get you out of bed and aid you in accomplishing seemingly boring tasks.

But when you’re on a lookout to involve yourself in a task, don’t just pick any project. Grab a noble one. Let it be something that can cause good to the surrounding people.

Thought this was a nice, coherent little book! I think the Damon has hit on an interesting insight - that there is a dearth of purpose in today's youth. As a member of "today's youth," I found that a lot of his observations rang true. I'm now fairly convinced - purpose is the root of all motivation.

Full disclosure, Bill Damon is currently one of my professors, and he is a lovely man.
