Book excerpt: "In his bestselling book, The 22 Non-Negotiable Laws of Wellness, Greg Anderson introduces wellness law #16, the law of life mission: if you have a purpose, you have everything. In response to countless requests from readers for elaboration on this timely law, Greg Anderson now outlines the steps that you can take to fulfill your goals and achieve a deeper sense of passion and purpose." "Taking each element of the formula in turn, Anderson helps us define our unique mission by addressing the importance of vision, the many expressions of service, and the practice of acting from a place of deep, personal passion. With affirmations and exercises for applying the book's lessons, including a self-scoring mission skills test, Living Life on Purpose not only stresses the importance of having a life mission but actually teaches you how to identify yours."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A tour de force. It is a thoughtful, subtle, beautifully written discussion of what it takes to live a meaningful life.” —Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice Throughout history most of us have looked to faith, relationships, or deeds to give our lives purpose. But in A Significant Life, philosopher Todd May offers an exhilarating new way of thinking about meaning, one deeply attuned to life as it actually is: a work in progress, a journey—and often a narrative. Offering moving accounts of his own life alongside rich engagements with philosophers from Aristotle to Heidegger, he shows us where to find the significance of our lives: in the way we live them. May starts by looking at the fundamental fact that life unfolds over time, and as it does so, it begins to develop certain qualities, certain themes. Our lives can be marked by intensity, curiosity, perseverance, or many other qualities that become guiding narrative values. These values lend meanings to our lives that are distinct from—but also interact with—the universal values we are taught to cultivate, such as goodness or happiness. Offering a fascinating examination of a broad range of figures—from music icon Jimi Hendrix to civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer, from cyclist Lance Armstrong to The Portrait of a Lady’s Ralph Touchett to Claus von Stauffenberg, a German officer who tried to assassinate Hitler—May shows that narrative values offer a rich variety of criteria by which to assess a life, specific to each of us and yet widely available. They offer us a way of reading ourselves, who we are, and who we might like to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Down to earth wisdom from a successful, creative entrepreneur” (New York Times–bestselling author Ken Abraham). Despite a childhood shadowed by financial disaster and a father who struggled with alcoholism, Aaron Walker has created opportunities where there appeared to be none—pushing through barriers and monumental hurdles to build a string of successful businesses. In this inspirational memoir, he reveals how he confronted bitterness, pushed through pride, and was granted grace for a horrifying pedestrian fatality. View from the Top recounts Aaron’s own powerful story—and shares techniques and strategies that will allow you to flourish regardless of your current circumstances. “There's an old saying I love: ‘Pray like everything depends on God, but work like everything depends on you.’ That could also be a great summary statement for View From The Top. Aaron Walker is a man who trusts God while putting a lot of sweat equity into everything he does. That balance of faith and diligence is something we all could learn from.” —Dave Ramsey, New York Times–bestselling author of The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness “For anyone who prefers reality over ‘reality shows’ . . . Aaron Walker’s View from the Top is as real, honest, and believable as it gets.” —Ken Abraham, New York Times–bestselling author of When Your Parent Becomes Your Child: A Journey of Faith Through My Mother’s Dementia

Book excerpt: Each of us has but one life to live on this earth. What we do with it is our choice. Are we drifting through it as spectators, reacting to our circumstances when necessary and wondering just how we got to this point anyway? Or are we directing it, maximizing the joy and potential of every day, living with a purpose or mission in mind? Too many of us are doing the former--and our lives are slipping away one day at a time. But what if we treated life like the gift that it is? What if we lived each day as though it were part of a bigger picture, a plan? That's what New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt and executive coach Daniel Harkavy show us how to do: to design a life with the end in mind, determining in advance the outcomes we desire and path to get there. In this step-by-step guide, they share proven principles that help readers create a simple but effective life plan so that they can get from where they are now to where they really want to be--in every area of life.

Book excerpt: In a culture obsessed with happiness, this wise, stirring book points the way toward a richer, more satisfying life. Too many of us believe that the search for meaning is an esoteric pursuit—that you have to travel to a distant monastery or page through dusty volumes to discover life’s secrets. The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us—right here, right now. To explore how we can craft lives of meaning, Emily Esfahani Smith synthesizes a kaleidoscopic array of sources—from psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and neuroscientists to figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, and the Buddha. Drawing on this research, Smith shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery can immeasurably deepen our lives. To bring what she calls the four pillars of meaning to life, Smith visits a tight-knit fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, stargazes in West Texas, attends a dinner where young people gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and more. She also introduces us to compelling seekers of meaning—from the drug kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit to the artist who draws on her Hindu upbringing to create arresting photographs. And she explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and imbues our lives with meaning. Inspiring and story-driven, The Power of Meaning will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a life that matters.
