People with a clear sense of purpose live up to ten years longer-and this fully revised guide shows you exactly how to find yours.

Now in a fully revised fourth edition with more than 40 percent new content, The Power of Purpose offers a warm, research-grounded framework for naming your reason to rise and living it at every stage of life. Richard Leider, with new coauthor David Shapiro, brings five decades of coaching wisdom together with fresh stories, new tools, and two distinct perspectives-one rooted in traditional spirituality, one more secular-so the book works for a wide range of readers.

Inside this book:

• The Purpose Formula - guided questions to help you name your unique purpose clearly and specifically
• The Purpose Checkup and Signs of Purpose - tools to assess where you are and what's calling you forward
• The Stages of Purpose - a framework for understanding how purpose evolves through career changes, relationships, and major life transitions
• The Purpose Recipe and Purpose Moment - daily practices for weaving purpose into how you work, connect, and contribute
• Becoming a Purposeful Leader - a new chapter on leading from purpose in organizations and communities

Designed for individuals as well as book clubs, seminars, and study groups, this is a trusted companion whether you're starting out, starting over, or simply feeling that quiet pull toward something more meaningful.
