Pursuing Purpose

"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® 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.

It’s time to rethink how we create and allocate money In Outgrowing Capitalism, Marco Dondi sheds light on the fact that most people do not have the economic security to focus on purpose and life fulfillment. He proposes that this is not the way things have to be; there is an alternative. In a quest to change our economic system to cater for everyone, he identifies deep issues in how money is created and allocated and connects these to capitalism. He shows that the assumptions and circumstances that made capitalism a success are no longer true today and then describes a new socio-economic model, Monetism. Dondi’s solution is to provide a pragmatic roadmap to institutionalize Monetism and solve societal issues that seemed as permanent as time.

pursuing peace Is there not something that we all seek - something that defines, separates, yet unites us? I believe that this is the pursuit for inner peace. There are an infinite number of individual paths to this one destination. This is mine. "Peace requires the simple but powerful recognition that what we have in common as human beings is more important and crucial than what divides us." – Robert Sargent Shriver “Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.” - John Fitzgerald Kennedy “Peace is costly but it is worth the expense.” - African Proverb “I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.” - Helen Keller “Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. “It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war; but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized.” – Aristotle “Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.” - George Bernard Shaw “If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.” - John Lennon “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
