Review of Purpose
[Following is a volunteer review of "Purpose" by Gina Bianchini.]
The book is an advertisement to use the author's social media platform, Mighty. As they are the CEO of the company, the book is created so that we read about the authors background in Tech and how they are making it big and you can to with the help of the app.
They talk about Facebook and how they are creating a monoculture and so thier app is different. They have hinted that Instagram is a picture first app and does not have the space for discussion.
It reinforces people to use social media as people are having a digital detox and spending less time on the Internet. So the book is created in fake postive language to get people to use the author's app as is it WILL change the future. The author is big on questions being the main focus of a community and that no platform has this feature. Except there is a platform like this, Reddit. And it talks about communities and how there are no real social media for communities, but there are so many. The author makes it seem like their platform is a niche that no one else has come up with and that they are the next big thing. I decided to look at the app and read the reviews and see what people actually thought of it. The reviews were not great, the app has many bugs and creators are having their site crash.
The only useful part of the book is talking about a ritual called Purpose 30, where you think about your purpose for 30 minutes.
Firstly, you mind dump, which the author has called 'clearing house'. Basically you journal and let out what you are holding in. Once everything on your mind is on paper, you envision the future you want. This isn't even the first time I've heard of this but the author is making it out as though she is the only one to think if this.
The third part of the book is about how to use the App. It's a step by step manual for the app. The last part of the book was a drag to read and the author was doing their best at manipulating you to join the app because YOU had something special and were now going to need somewhere to showcase this to everybody else. It was like listening to those door to door sales associate telling you you can 'sell these products and still have enough time for everything else so all you have to do is this and if you meet these targets youll get a bonus so try and sell to everyone you know'. The author really wants you to be a host.
Ultimately this book isn't about finding your purpose. It's about downloading the app and making money by charging people who follow you. The book is a marketing ploy as the app hasn't really taken off. I would not recommend this book. I would rate this 1 out of 5, with one being the worst. I'm sure there other books that will help you find your purpose.
This isn't one of them. But I wish you look on your journey.
