I was not prepared for a self-help book to actually help me. Personally, I never read self-help books. They never do anything for me, and it always feels like a waste of time. But this book really made sense.

Reading about Gina Bianchini's upbringing and life during the dotcom-boom was so interesting. She grew up next-door to the likes of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. She co-founded Ning, and she helped make coding easy and accessible for everyone. She created a company that helps other people help other people. She makes you believe that you can find your purpose in helping others.

Bianchini helps you create rituals and shares her own optimism for the future, so that you can do the same. She wants you to succeed in life, and she wants you to become a host, a sort of mentor and guide for others that are in the same transition or standstill in life. Bianchini's own purpose is being a host, and she shares her belief that you can become one too, in creating a community for others.

As a librarian myself, I truly felt inspired by this message. In my job I aspire to help the patrons in their little quests in life, whatever that may be. I hope to assist the younger patrons on their journey in falling in love with reading, as I did when I was younger.

Purpose is a great read, and I really enjoyed it.
