Review of Purpose
[Following is a volunteer review of "Purpose" by Gina Bianchini.]
Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life by Gina Bianchini is a lovely compendium of life stories, advice and practical hints designed to help you find your own purpose and change your own life story by acting on it and incorporating the power of digital gadgets in your surrounding community.
The author is taking us through a complex journey of three crucial activities: search & finding, settling and sharing which promises a glorious ending: the potential fulfillment of The Big Purpose. The search & finding represent the quest to find this purpose which comes out as the result of a sustained and disciplined effort – waking up every morning for 30 days and filling in the template of your Future Story, guided by 6 very specific questions. Being consistent and showing up is the main point here which is guaranteed to become your North Star in terms of purpose and commitment. The settling represents making the effort of analyzing and defining a community where your main purpose is actionable through its members’ interest & social networking power. The sharing means having the courage to take the lead while incorporating all the digital gadgets to create meaning and encourage continuous action! The community becomes therefore stronger and stronger and pays it forward by creating new leaders!
I enjoyed reading this book for several reasons. This almanac of Future Stories can be a great encouragement to put into practice the Visualization technique and work on your own Future Story, therefore have the actual courage to imagine something palpable for yourself in the near future. I consider that every major change stands particularly in the power of being disciplined and following small but strict habits. Giving up the majority of the useless social media apps also represents a correct and followable advice. Being more select in choosing the community designed to support our quests is also a healthy approach to life that is extremely helpful in designing the social interactions which are supposed to give us positive fuel for our endeavors! The tone in the book is of encouragement combined with authority and urge to put into practice!
The only trouble that I found with the author’s indications is the fact that this book is addressed in particular to everybody who is willing and has the drive to take the stand. Though usually this is a good thing, I found it difficult to relate to the debunking of the reasons the author is mentioning in the book which from my point are very valid points for several personalities to make the choice to rather act or follow along than host. I strongly consider everyone has a purpose (found or still waiting to be found) in this life and not everybody is designed to become a leader!
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who feels lost or insecure and needs simple & correct guiding in order to find purpose in their own existence. The vocabulary is complex but not pretentious and I couldn’t find any errors in writing.
