When you've found your life's purpose, work becomes meaningful to you. If you want to discover and live your purpose, read Nicholas Pearce's book. Not only will it inspire you to become who you were born to be, it also will show you how. - Ken Blanchard, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager(R) How to build a meaningful career with a moral center and a purpose in the world.
Some of the world's most successful companies--Google, Disney, Starbucks--are not simply profit-driven, but purpose-driven. They identify the purpose behind why they do what they do, and let their why drive what they do every day. Nicholas Pearce argues that we all should do the same: discover our why and commit to the journey of aligning our daily work with our life's work. The Purpose Path is for people in any field who long to have more than just a job or a career, but a true vocation that allows them to connect their soul with their role. The Purpose Path is organized around five key questions: What is success? Who am I? Why am I here? Am I running the right race? Am I running the race well? Nicholas Pearce sits at the unconventional intersection of academia, business, and faith. With examples and advice, he shows how he and other people in a variety of fields and at different life stages have asked and answered these five questions in order to start, shape, or even radically change their careers. Inspiring, thought-provoking, and practical, The Purpose Path is an essential book for anyone who seeks the clarity and courage to advance their authentic life's work every day.The Purpose Path: A Guide to Pursuing Your Authentic Life's Work

"When you've found your life's purpose, work becomes meaningful to you. Suddenly you love what you do and your occupation doesn't feel like work anymore. In fact, when you're living and loving your true calling, you never have to work another day in your life! If you want to discover and live your purpose, read Nicholas Pearce's book. Not only will it inspire you to become who you were born to be--it also will show you how."
--Ken Blanchard, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager(R) and Leading at a Higher Level
"Nicholas Pearce is one of his generation's brightest minds. With
The Purpose Path, he has now written one of his generation's most significant books. If you want to figure out who you're meant to become, honor your calling, and activate your purpose every day, you won't want to put this book down!"
--
Bishop Lambert W. Gates, Presiding Bishop, Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith
"Nicholas brings his powerful voice from the boardroom and pulpit onto the written page. He writes with conviction about what makes us truly human - our ability to ask why we exist and what work we are called to do. Through artful storytelling and logic, he ties our work to our being, in the process reminding us that each day's labor is indeed sacred."
--
Sally Blount, Michael L. Nemmers Professor of Strategy and former Dean, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University
"Rarely is a book both timely and timeless. Every generation needs a clarifying call to purpose, and a map to get us there. For those who want to do more than exist,
The Purpose Path is required reading."

Dr. Charlie Dates, Senior Pastor, Progressive Baptist Church, Chicago
and Affiliate Professor, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
