Introduction
This is a simple and short book about finding your calling. It’s intended to be super practical and to the point.
It’s not the end all or be all of books on the topic, but it’s a guidebook to take you from where you are right now to taking your next step.
We’ll explore some of the common misconceptions about calling and purpose, redefine calling in a way that works for you, navigate some of the common obstacles that get in the way of finding a sense of calling, and then walk step-by-step through a proven process to help you get there.
