This edition is for you when questions of meaning come up in your working life: when the work no longer feels like yours, when you are weighing purpose against practical needs, or when you want what you do to make a lasting difference. Navigate Purpose & Meaning accompanies that search.
It helps you discover what matters to you, align your work with your values and live with intention. The structure rests on research on meaning and on how purpose develops over a lifetime, which treats purpose as something that often emerges gradually through reflection and experiment.
Inside is a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. The sections follow the stages of the search: Finding Your Purpose, Feeling Lost, Midlife Purpose Crisis, Living Your Purpose, Purpose vs. Practicality, Making a Difference, and Legacy & Contribution, with themes such as Find-Meaning. Each card shows a theme, an image and a short description on the front, and on the back a curated set of quotes from six wisdom traditions with room for your own handwritten notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book you can read on a tablet or phone, or print and bind.
On WorkSmart4Life you find it on the library shelf under "Life Wisdom: the moments of a working life". It is also one of the editions The Edge can give as a level reward for practice in courses under Craft, the move about shaping the job you already have. If you are not yet sure what your purpose is, begin with Finding Your Purpose and Feeling Lost, which are curated for the start of the journey.
