Jon did it again
Great read!! I have been following Jon Gordon since I read the Energy Bus. This book delivers and is perfect if you are entering a new role, burnt out in your existing one or just getting ready for life after school. I'm rejuvenated with "purpose" and plan to share this book with with everyone I know as I have have with Jon Gordon's other books.
This is a wonderful book.
I am in a job that I only thought of as a way to pay bills and live, but I realize that my true purpose is building homes so other people can give their children stability and a firm foundation do grow up stronger and more confident. This will help them to raise their children with even more confidence. This is a cycle that will only make our communities and world better.
Learning "with purpose"
I really like the message that Jon delivers and appreciate the way it is delivered. It is captivating, meaningful and usable information. It is worth reading again.
