Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Power of Purpose
Richard J. Leider · 2000
74/100
👍 Worth It
Richard Leider has spent decades in the field, and the million-plus copies sold across twenty languages is not hype — it reflects a genuine resonance with people at career crossroads or seeking something more from their work. The reflective workbook format is practical rather than merely inspirational, though readers wanting prescriptive action plans may wish the framework were sharper.
