This is a straightforward book. No beating about the bush, no detailing of theories and accounts.
It exposes the plain truth about our everyday lives—we are all made for a purpose.
In the way Mr. Munroe explains the concept, he debunks the erroneous ideas people have about
purpose. Most people, when discussing it, explain hacks and tricks, trial and error games. A
gamble too expensive for one’s precious and singular life.
Myles shows the world to us through the lens of purpose, so we can see the chaos that is certain
in living outside of it. He also relates success to purpose.
He doesn’t just stop at knowing your purpose. Myles explains that a known purpose has
perils—and he shows how to overcome them. He connects purpose to potential: to understand
potential, know your purpose.
I picked up this book because of a statement by Edidiong Willie during the virtual launch of his
book, The Economy of Purpose: that purpose should be the first thing any individual seeks in
life.
This book addressed the many questions I had about purpose and offered new ones.
I am someone who hates to regret. But when one walks outside purpose, regret is certain.
How many purposes can a person have?
What exactly does it mean to fulfill purpose?
Reading this book was a new exposure for me. Questions I had ignored years ago
resurfaced—and were addressed.
Sincerely, I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I even read it twice!
Myles also offered me a new perspective on death.
Myles Munroe’s In Pursuit of Purpose raises the bar for every other book on purpose I will ever
read—and I assure you, I will read more.
I recommend this book to anyone with questions about fulfillment in life, purpose, and more.
