Why on Earth are You Here?: How to find and live your life's purpose when you don't believe you can

Our life’s purpose is something unique and special we do as an expression of who we really are. When finding our life's purpose, our beliefs about ourselves determine the purpose we look for and how we feel when we find it. There are just two things to look for, one will not surprise you - the other will.

We spend so much of our lives doing things "on time" that we do not give ourselves the opportunity to do what is truly important. We are not wrong for doing this, we may even be doing it "on purpose" as we shall see. First we need to understand what motivates us to live the way we do, and this we do in the opening chapters of this book.

Why on Earth are You Here? is for you if:
You believe you have a purpose in life and have been unable to find it
The experience of fulfilment seems impossible or unrealistic
You have come to the realisation time is precious and you know you should be doing something more with it
You believe the acquisition of money through living your life's purpose is unspiritual

Now is a good time for us to challenge and change our way of thinking about ourselves and our purpose for being here. Through reason, logic and some humour, this book presents some challenging ideas in a clear and precise way.
