Purpose

I gathered from this reading that we all have different purposes in life. This theory is because our focus and purpose also change as we change. Since we constantly evolve, there will always be new things to discover that will spark our interest over time.

Something that I found fascinating was how this book mentioned that when we continue to build a life in such a way that there's space to grow and evolve, it's important to consider the impact we want to leave on this world. This is key to creating our purpose.

I find it quite interesting that the world will take our purpose, suck it in, and spit it back out fractured and unrecognizable. That was a good point!

Angel Shannon said: "People-driven communities will always succeed over corporate-sponsored projects and experiments of any kind" and I agree.

I have noted that the author of this book has a vocabulary that is quite vast. I have also learned a lot of new words that I don't normally use in my everyday language. While studying this book, I looked up these new words in a dictionary, jotted them down in a notebook, and I plan on finding ways to incorporate them into my vocabulary. In addition to a dictionary, I utilized the glossary at the end of the book to enhance my understanding of the writer's new definitions and concepts that were implemented throughout it.

As far as criticism goes, proofreading was needed in this. There were a lot of grammatical errors that I was able to pick out. In my honest opinion, I feel as though some of the obscenities are unnecessary, even if the purpose was for emphasis. This little nitpick is coming from the perspective of someone who simply doesn't fancy profanity.

All in all, I did enjoy reading this book and I recommend it.

I give it a 4 out of 5!
