Success can be looked at in different ways from different points in your life. As a child, it was pleasing one's parents; in high school, it may have been about academic achievement and popularity; as a working adult, success is often represented by earning a good salary and the respect of others. But what about the years after initial goals have been pursued? What constitutes success then? Leisure or legacy? For more and more people, it's about making things better and about improving the world-large or small-in a lasting way. It's about changing the community, the nation, the political landscape, and the environment. "A New Purpose" focuses on why readers should commit to having a lasting impact on the world and how they can do it. Ken Dychtwald addresses finances, opportunities, and realities of life, and includes inspiring stories of people who have made a difference while providing the resources to enable the reader to do the same. Men and women will identify their strengths, become inspired, and find themselves galvanised into action.

The definition of success changes as you grow in life. As a child, it meant pleasing your parents; in high school, it may have meant good grades or popularity; as a professional, success usually means a good salary and the respect of others. But what about the years after your initial goals have been pursued and met? What does success mean then? Leisure or legacy? For more and more people, it's about making things better and about improving the world in a lasting, significant way--about changing people's lives and altering the course of history for the better. There's an environment to protect and communities to strengthen. There are minds to change and hearts to win. There are examples to set and legacies to leave--your legacy. With Purpose is for the bold, for the dreamers who act. It's an urging on why you should commit to have a lasting impact on the world, and it's a manifesto on what you can do to maximize that impact, regardless of whether or not you think you have the resources to do it: you do. It will inspire you, show you how to identify your strengths, and make your next success a significant one.
