Working on Purpose

Up to 91 percent of people struggle with the idea of finding purpose in their lives, and they feel anxious and depressed as a result. This is the “dark side” of purpose. And yet, there is a path toward meaningful purpose that also comes with happiness and legacy, if only you learn the simple formula and embrace the according lifestyle. Doing so ultimately yields to the “secret sauce” of happiness and impact – finding your tribe in connection and community.
