Review of Purpose
Posted: 19 Aug 2023, 13:35
[Following is a volunteer review of "Purpose" by Gina Bianchini.]
An inspirational book, full of hope and wonder for the future. It's an easy read, the narrative offers clear and relatable concepts that resonated a lot with me and could resonate with practically anyone living in the digital age these days.
I would only suggest tweaking the title because it focused more on building communities for specific purposes, rather than tools to find personal purpose. I liked what I read but it was slightly different from what I expected.
"Purpose" is a guide to finding what you were meant to do in this world and shows how to bring it down to earth, through the power of community. I read it out of curiosity but ended up inspired to do the exercises and buckle up to create a digital community of my own.
I wish it were longer on the part of finding one’s purpose, before diving into the community searching part, this is why I don’t think it has the most accurate title.
Overall, the author took me through an interesting and insightful journey and it was a much-needed splash of optimism for the future.
It has impeccable editing and a storyline, would recommend it to anyone that’s feeling anxious or depressed after the pandemic, because it brings light to the reason why everyone is so obsessed with social media and why it stopped being interesting a while ago.
Sometimes it’s easy to believe our digital selves rule our lives and that it’s going to be like this forever, but this book reminded me that everything is constantly evolving, so at some point the way we abuse the internet and social will die down and people will begin prioritizing our “offline” lives, the way it should be.
My rating is not perfect for this book because, like I previously mentioned, the title doesn’t hold up to the content, but in the end, I thoroughly enjoyed and will recommend to all my friend readers.
