An inspiring and thoughtful book that was perfectly timed, for me at least, after a year of uncertainty and critical thinking about life and the future. Charlotte dove deep into her own career/personal projects to give a very realistic guide and set the reader up to feel more fulfilled outside of their 9-5. It would be too easy and cliche (and unrealistic!) to just write a “quit your day job” book, and instead of that, Charlotte gives in-depth, behaviorally driven timelines, tools and goals to successfully achieve a fulfilling side hustle. I enjoyed her personal stories, creative ideas, mentions of mistakes and lessons learned. A truly genuine book written by a truly genuine person. I recommend to anyone who wants to change the world but still needs to pay the rent. :)

As someone who has spent much time reflecting on how I can find meaningful purpose in my life, and the Purpose Myth opened my eyes to a new and unique perspective that purpose lives beyond my career. As I was reading this book it made me reflect on my life, the culture that I grew up in, and how my previous corporate jobs created a limiting belief on how we can live with purpose. If you're seeking a fresh new perspective on purpose, and how you can find motivation outside of your 9-5 job, this book is for you.

I’ve read a few books on the topic that are usually packed with self help advice that is hard to put into practice and often left me wondering if there was something wrong with me. The purpose myth was the first book where I didn’t experience that. I credit that to the very clear examples, the personal development workbook, and the fact that the author just feels very relatable. I’m excited to put this into practice and find a sense of purpose at work!

I really wish I had read something like this earlier in my career that made me think how my work and purpose can exist independently from each other. This book offers practical advice on how to accomplish this in modern times with a step-by-step that anyone can benefit from to pursue their own purpose project. Highly recommend this book for anyone seeking more purpose in their everyday lives.
A different approach to how we think about work

I thoroughly enjoyed The Purpose Myth for many reasons. From the neuroscience-based interactive exercises, to the inspiring stories of human will and creativity, the book leaves you feeling motivated and downright excited about the possibilities of life. Whether you are interested in activating your passion or just learning about behavior change and brain science, Charlotte Cramer's book will be a good addition to your collection.
Excellent read for those interested in behavior science, psychology and the pursuit of purpose

The science, tools and mindset to ignite your true calling
Finally, a book that not only dives into the reasons, the psychology and the science of why we can feel shadowed on the daily by an unfulfillable cloud (and how somewhere along the way society has subconsciously convinced us that we’re supposed to find it in our day jobs…) - but actually puts words into action and gives us the tools we need to shift away from that mindset and discover our own true callings.M Go.The science, tools and mindset to ignite your true calling

I love how Cramer calls *BULL* on what we’ve grown up to accept as our intention in life; and takes us on a journey of change and self-discovery to find the meaning we’ve all been searching for.
The Purpose Myth is for anyone that is fed up with feeling like their potential is being restricted by their 9-5, and how to do something worthwhile about it. And with that in mind, I’ll be recommending it to anyone and everyone.
