How is your book helping others?
This book, based on hundreds of reviews and personal emails and stories, has helped people improve relationships (including marriages), navigate the education system (for instance, college students choosing schools and majors), and career direction. It has helped people understand their motivations better and make more informed choices with agency. It has helped thousands of people stop wasting their time chasing things they don't care about to impress people who don't necessarily care about them. The book has even served as an entry point for many people into thinking more deeply about their life's purpose, about spirituality, and about how they might be being asked to serve others.
