Purpose Takes Guts!

Purpose Takes Guts! makes the case that purpose and meaning in one's chosen career is not some warm and fuzzy notion reserved for dreamy eyed star gazers, but a practical and sensible strategy for anyone striving for success in today's world. Garvey goes light on the Rah Rah, focusing instead on practical strategies you can use everyday to add more purpose and meaning into your work while acknowledging the obstacles along the way. Engaging from page 1, Purpose Takes Guts! highlights the tremendous role our subconscious plays in our everyday decisions with an interactive reader experiment involving a pair of pink lensed glasses. Garvey illustrates the point that the subconscious is resistant to change, doing everything in it's power to keep things the same. Understanding this key point is the beginning to real and lasting change. While the first half of Purpose Takes Guts! focuses on the strategic validity of finding purposeful work where you can use your strengths, talents, and passions, the second half dives deep into the importance of daily goal setting, building positive habits, and increasing your discipline and perseverance. Purpose Takes Guts! is not a feel good, put on a happy face read, but a down to earth, nitty gritty approach for those committed to change.
