Why are you here? Do you have something specific or something big to do? What are you responsible for? Do you have a role in planetary change?There is now a global search for purpose that is raising consciousness and acknowledging for the first time that purpose is not just for a select few, but is everyone’s birthright. Google receives more than 60,000 hits a month on the topic. Books and documentaries such as Purpose Driven Life, What the Bleep So We Know?, and The Secret have experienced phenomenal sales. Oprah Winfrey has devoted a month long series to the issue.""This topic creates emotional turmoil,"" says the author, Maxine Jones. ""I wanted to explore why, and to help people come to terms with one of the most important questions of our time. When individuals speak about purpose, their answers range from adamant to completely disengaged. Some believe in purpose and are passionate about why they’re here; others think purpose is just for a lucky few.""One question goes hand in hand with Why am I here?’ and that’s What’s my responsibility?’"" Desperately Seeking Purpose delves into the restlessness and driving curiosity surrounding this issue and then examines how everyday people from all walks of life feel about this highly debated topic. How does each individual and his or her contribution fit into the global’ picture?Desperately Seeking Purpose answers these questions, identifying both purpose and responsibility generation by generation. Are you a member of the Silent Generation, a Baby Boomer, a Gen X’er; were you born into Generation Y, or perhaps the Millennial Generation?Does when you were born affect your purpose? Can you have more than one purpose? This book introduces a new tool for people who want a broader perspective on the question of purpose and the multiple answers to the question to ""Why Am I Here?""
