Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Life Skills
Richard Leider · 1994
72/100
👍 Worth It
Leider's workbook-style approach to purpose-finding is grounded in real executive coaching rather than theory alone, and the interactive exercises give readers something to do rather than just absorb. The 1994 publication date shows in some workplace references, but the core focus on values, purpose, and personal clarity is genuinely timeless. A worthwhile pick for adults at a crossroads who prefer to work through a guided process.
