How to find purpose in life ... the four books that changed my life from total disaster to complete happiness

When it comes to the meaning of life things become a little overwhelming - in scope and volume. Problem solved. Everything you ever wanted to know, that you can use in a daily sense in your life, that will lead you to true success and happiness in practical terms, are here in these three life-changing books plus the workbook which brings it all together. They're not just your everyday self-help books but more, far more. Together they were my companions through traumatic and life shattering changes so I can speak from experience. I can highly recommend all 4 books to anyone struggling to find meaning ... or the way out of a disaster. Read my personal memoir in every detail in my 204 page self-published book in softcover or instant download e-book.

"What good is it to the universe to have a planet filled with souls who have no idea whatsoever why they are here or what they are supposed to be doing?" Caroline Myss

1. 'The Soul's Code' by James Hillman 

The Soul's Code: In Search of Character and Calling

"This book sets out on a new course based on an old idea. Each person enters the world called. The idea comes from Plato ... The soul of each of us is given a unique daimon before we are born, and it has selected an image or pattern that we live on earth. This soul-companion, the daimon, guides us here; in the process of arrival, however, we forget all that took place and believe we come empty into this world." James Hillman is a psychologist, scholar, international lecturer and has held teaching positions at Yale, Syracuse, Chicago and Dallas Universities.

2. 'The Purpose of Your Life' by Carol Adrienne (seen on Oprah) 

The Purpose of Your Life: Finding Your Place In The World Using Synchronicity, Intuition, And Uncommon Sense

"I am convinced more than ever that each of us must be alert for the tiny intuitions and ideas that show us where we need to pay attention, and what we need to develop. Even when we feel blocked and stagnant - as I have certainly been many times - I believe that we are simply at one particular stage of the unfolding life purpose that we came to fulfil." Carol Adrienne developed her approach after the time she "snapped" (in her words). With James Redfield she co-authored 'The Celestine Prophesy Experiential Guide' and has written an experiential guide to accompany this book.

3. 'Sacred Contracts' by Caroline Myss (seen on Oprah) 

Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential

"What good is it to the universe to have a planet filled with souls who have no idea whatsoever why they are here or what they are supposed to be doing?" ... "For our own good, each of us needs to learn what our mission is, because the details of how we live our lives accumulate to create health or illness." ... "The popular term 'soulmate' applied to one's ideal romantic partner, doesn't begin to capture truth; in fact, we all have many soulmates who play very different roles in our life. Perhaps 'noble friend' is a better term. These are the people you are not simply destined but are required to meet."

Amazon Price: $11.53 (as of 11/15/2009) Buy Now

4. 'The Hero With a Thousand Faces' by Joseph Campbell 

The Hero with a Thousand Faces (Bollingen Series)

"The truths contained in religious doctrines are after all so distorted and systematically disguised," writes Sigmund Freud, "that the mass of humanity cannot recognize them as truth." "It is the purpose of the present book," writes Campbell, "to uncover some of the truths disguised for us under the figures of religion and mythology." The hero is us and the thousand faces are "the figures of religion and mythology ... bringing together a multitude of not-too-difficult examples and letting the ancient meaning become apparent of itself."

"Follow your bliss and doors will open where you never knew they existed." Joseph Campbell

 

What the Greek philosopher Plato said about destiny (or life purpose)

"Your destiny shall not be allotted to you, but you shall choose it for yourselves." ('Republic')

"Now, when all the souls had chosen their lives in the order of the lots, they advanced in their turn to Lachesis, who dispatched with each of them the Destiny he had selected, to guard his life and satisfy his choice ... and in a moment the souls were carried up to their birth, this way and that, like shooting stars." ('Republic')

Plato called our destiny our soul's "career on earth."

 

The easy way to learn the true purpose of your life - as I did the hard way - starting in a few minutes 

What took me many painful years of "life's bitter experiences", including bankruptcy, to arrive at you can also achieve the easy way with a simple painless instant download

Are you tired of living a lifetime of struggle, frustration, worry, and uncertainty about your direction in life? Would you like to experience instead a flow of peace of mind, happiness, abundance, love and joy? Would you like to at least learn more about it? All of those answers and more are to be found in this life-changing package ... which can have you started in just a few minutes from now.

"Finding" your purpose is a misleading concept because it's not something you have to go out and "get," but rather something you need to turn within and claim. You've already got it - even if you haven't consciously realized it yet. So you still need to "find" it in some sense. How do you do that? By having your life crash and burn like I did? Succumbing to mid-life crisis? Facing one problem after another? Always seeming to attract bad luck? Or this easier route designed to avoid the unpleasant alternatives and miraculously open the way to your happiness and success.

According to the author your life's purpose is already within you! All you need are the right tools to tap into your inner self to find your true purpose. This life changing package provides an easy and fast way for you to finally discover what you are here on this earth to do.... And find true happiness once and for all in every aspect of your life!

Napoleon Hill, in his famous books 'THINK AND GROW RICH' and 'THE MASTER KEY TO RICHES', explains that a Definite Major Purpose is the starting point and one of the main keys to personal achievement. What he omits is how to find your major purpose in the first place. This is that missing part of his success formula - without which you'll be forever barking up the wrong tree.

For less than the price of a single numerology, astrology or tarot reading, with this inexpensive course of 'Numerology for Soul Awakening', you can help others, as well as yourself, to find your true soul's purpose. I found this soul purpose numerology guide just when I needed a practical yet inner connection to discover who I really was. But there's more. You can earn money from doing charts using the chart template provided. A software program is also included to make your calculations a breeze. The author recommends we deepen our numerology practice by making charts for our friends and family. Eventually, in a fairly short time, he suggests that we will become expert readers. Not to mention being on our way to finding, and living, our soul's purpose for this lifetime. I recommend this package to everyone.

    I have only read Sacred Contracts of what is on your list. Perhaps I should look into those others. The Four Agreements would be a good addition to your list.
