The Purpose - Driven Life

 
    You all must read <The Purpose-Driven Life> by best-selling author Rick Warren. It is a world-renown text that has held a best-selling status for more than three years. He made the first page of TIME magazine in 2004. Being honest, I hesitated to recommend this book due to the fact that it is written with a religious bend. However, I couldn’t help it. I do not have a religion, but I was not repulsed by reading this book.
    I want to tell you just a tad bit of what it is about. I was introduced to this author and his book through TED. I bet most of you probably have watched some of TED’s video. His talk truly inspired me. During his speech, he asked: “What’s in your hand? What are you doing with what you’ve been given? Look at what’s in your hand. It’s not about you. It’s about making this world better.”
    His prescribed reading is just one chapter a day. At the end of every chapter he invites you to contemplate a question. I believe this book will definitely assist you in many significant decisions you must make. It will take from being a person who merely exists to a person who is truly alive.
