Play by Play: Finding Your Purpose - Understanding Your Impact on the World

via Pluralsight

Overview

We all want more meaning in our lives. Here are some insights and exercises to help you gain a better understanding of what you’re here on the planet to do.

You’ve probably asked yourself, “How can I find more meaning, both inside and outside of work? What’s my purpose in life?" Perhaps even questioning, "What am I here on the planet to do?" This course will help you begin to navigate the process of developing your own answers to those questions. You’ll learn about creating “the user manual of you,” understanding your own “spectrum of purpose,” the four most important elements of purpose, and you’ll do several brief exercises to explore ideas for finding more meaning in your work and your life.
