In today's times where Everyone is lost in technology figuring out what they want to do actually and when many of us wants to cut off from the community ,this book is a ray of hope which is resourcefully answered by Gina Bianchini in her brilliant book called " Purpose".

Gina provides us with tremendous details on how important role a community play in everyone's day to day lives .
As She tells how you live your days ,tells how you live your lives .
So ,Every small goals may leads to bigger and many purposes for our lives.
It can be a personal self help book about realising our potential to clarify our purposes and make it matter .

This book can made you a true community believer .

When Ning continued to grow rapidly, Facebook ,LinkedIn & Twitter had become cultural touchstones
Ning was eventually sold .
Later on ,She build Mighty networks with new added features which can work for more digital communities which she calls 'community design'and launched it as a course .
She witnessed launchs and growths of many social media networks which are really useful in day to day lives but nowadays many social media networks became an addiction we can't let go of .
Nowadays finding a social media platform without distractions had become hard .So Having a social media platfrom which can work on community designs and can connect you with people who are rslted to your own interests, passions,goals,purposes is really a better thing .
The Author tells that technology can help us find menaing in our lives and can be fastest path to translate our purpose .
She also shared many real life examples on finding purpose which helps in understanding the role of community and finding purpose very easy to understand.
The book also connects the purpose with the modern life that how a purpose can be a big and lofty concept but it isn't limited to only heavy life and death topics It can be different and too many .
The book tells how differnent things is going to be important in different moments of life .The focus and purpose should keep changing .
Gina shares a smart trick called Purpose 30 - which is a key to find out qhat can work for you in which you need to give 30 minutes for 30 days for 6 questions which can make it your purpose a practice .
She also provides some purpose questions in which you can time travel to your future and can imagine what would be the clear picture of your future.

As we move forward The book tells about turning your purpose into Action in which we learn about how we can turn from hero to mentor ,guide or hosts which can have bigger impact in modern life with any background ,age or any purpose .
Hosts can encompass many roles that help unlock potential of others and how you can avoid all excuses from becoming a host and what stops you to take a lead .

The Author tells the best place to search for people to host is in your core community.
It also tells about importance of art and science of asking great community questions which can help you in making a great host.
As Gina tells ,Community has essential role to play in everyone's lives .It can provide most rewarding and meaningful life and purpose thrives in community .
So the need of fulfilling purposes in suitable communities becomes most important .
The Book tells when basic physical and security needs are fulfilled, we can dwell into other 6 pursuits like Love ,Esteem ,Aesthetic ,transcendence etc.


When we move forward The Author talks about Making your purpose digital and what we have to expect when you create digital community & who needs our community the most ,what can be our ideal members for creating community .
It can be anything regarding our common interests, passions ,goals ,gender ,age ,or career etc.

Such formula can really help you to figure out your bigger purpose .

The Author also talks about launching the community design with ideal members.
Personally this part was quiet intresting to me as Ideal members can be tricky but once you understood what members best suits your purpose it becomes an easy task With the help of this book
this book tells about 5 aggreements for community deisgn -like try new things ,stay curious etc.which are quiet intresting.
There is also community design launch plan which can help you immensely, like -your bigger purpose ,a year in life ,monthly themes etc.
It also tells how core community is very important it can provide 1st digital members and through the help of questions you can create a better bond in your community for your purposes .

It also made me understand how well a social media platfrom can be used in different ways for better impact on communities.

After reading this book I feel We can have the knowledge and also the community skills to invest our time into the things that brings us together and really matters.
There is nothing to dislike in this book .
I would give 5 out of 5 star to this book and recommend it to those who want to achieve something and who are lost in themselves and couldn't find out what they want to do with their lives and who donit understand the importance of community .
After reading this book they can understand the communities role better and figure out their own purpose in life very quickly.
