The only four (non-religious) non-fiction books you ever need to read to find purpose in life.
Ranked #6,156 in How-To, #66,685 overall
How finding purpose in life can bring good luck, success, health & happiness into every aspect of your world. It happened to me.
These four books collectively have all you need to know for successful relationships, success, prosperity, happiness, health and even longevity. They contain the secret of how to get luck in your life. Based on the simple but seldom recognised or achieved principle of first finding your life's true purpose, these brilliant books turned my life around just when everything was a disaster. I recommend them to everyone.

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

"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 Roar From Within - Your Destiny Calls'
A complete course, workbook & meditations (+ 3 bonuses)

Do you ever feel a roar within wanting to find expression? Maybe it's only a whisper but it's there, wanting to have its say. You want change ... but what, where and how? Doing what?
For a long time there was a roar inside of me but I had no idea what it wanted to say. I'd complain about my life but when asked, well okay, so what do you want to do? I had no satisfactory reply. I didn't know what it was that I wanted, what words that roar should speak to satisfy its desire for expression - and action.
If you have experienced that inner restlessness, the feeling that something was wrong in your life and/or your career, an inner knowing you were meant to be doing something but couldn't quite put your finger on it, then this will interest you.
You have a gift to give, a lesson to learn and a debt to pay. This is the secret of the ages, the secret of the true game of life. To master this secret, you must focus your attention on the right one. Here is why: if you focus on your lesson, you will miss giving your gift and create a debt.
But did you know that you - we all - have a gift to give? It doesn't need to be anything monumental or world shattering, just something you know about and are able to give - if only you knew what that gift was.
The Universe is waiting for you to give your gift. Until you do, you have a debt. However, if you worry about your debt, you will miss giving your gift and never pay it off.
So here is the key: concentrate on your gift and you will be shocked at how the Universe rushes in to support you! I know, because this happened to me - even before I knew anything of this ancient secret wisdom after years focussing on the wrong path in my life - and I failed, bigtime.
The ROAR FROM WITHIN program will guide you through an exciting journey to develop your intuition, discover your natural gifts and receive the answer to life's most important question: "Why am I here?"
Everyone must discover the answer to this question for themselves. It is part of the sacred journey. But having the tools to assist you makes it easier than stumbling along. Intuition and meditation are the most powerful tools for self-discovery. With this course, you will discover that this is the clearest and best way to get the answer to your question.
The Roar From Within program is deliberately structured so its exercises and guided meditations will gently lead you along the path of awakening to who you truly are. Follow the course faithfully, and you will know. Here is an example of the kinds of outcomes you can expect:
> Find your soul mate, and finally have the loving relationship you have been searching for.
> Create your dream job - a successful, highly-fulfilling career that you can't wait to get out of bed to go to.
> Create your dream home.
> Create more money in your life and dissolve limiting beliefs that say you can't.
> Create the means to travel to anywhere in the world you desire to go.
> Create powerful self-confidence.
> Create better health and unstoppable willpower to maintain healthy habits.
