Synopsis

The desire to "make a difference" in our lives is stronger than ever - this book provides inspiration and advice on how to achieve this. Disasters and poverty abroad, war and death, corruption and scandal - people today are moved to contribute and make a difference to the world. This book will appeal strongly to people caught up in the daily grind of work, family and paying bills, who have lost meaning in their lives. This is a modern-day self-help book that captures exactly what people are feeling about the world they live in. Most of us want to make a positive difference either to the people around us or the situation in which we find ourselves. It gives meaning to our daily lives of work, chores and challenges. Moreover, it confirms our wish to leave a legacy, in either improving the lives of others or in changing the way organisations or societies behave. This book is about two things. Firstly, it provides a simple action plan to make more effective at making a difference in our chosen domain. Secondly, and more importantly, it is about how we can discover our purpose, and in so doing, find where that domain should be.

Through making a difference, we can find fulfillment in life. Through discovering and living our purpose, we can find freedom. This inspiring book helps unlock our enthusiasm and passion, and to find meaning in our lives.
