Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The 7 Questions to Find Your Purpose
Richard Jacobs · 2017
68/100
👎 Skip It
Jacobs has the right instinct — that purpose is about how you live, not just what career you pick — and the one-sitting format is admirably focused. But critics have a point when they note that seven reflective questions, however thoughtful, may not reliably produce a life purpose, and the book's ambitious title sets up expectations it cannot consistently fulfill. A good jumping-off point for self-reflection, but not a definitive guide to purpose.
