"Purpose" or how to activate the inner spark of readers

In her first novel, the multifaceted entrepreneur Gina Bianchini takes us on an introspective journey with the aim of changing a bit of our closest context to finally leave a more permanent imprint that has a butterfly effect on the world.

I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised from the very first page. Not only because of Bianchini's personal and close way of writing, but also because she makes you feel identified with a woman who, despite belonging to your age group (years up or down) in principle has nothing to do with you and still gets you to nod during the great part of her literary, and personal, proposal. And it is that "Purpose" emphasizes the importance of the inner journey towards the construction of our own community in the process of creating and living the life we really want. Something really refreshing, considering that today's society brutally pushes us towards isolation. "You don't need anyone" or "you can do it alone" can be words of encouragement at certain times, but at others, you do need others and it seems a sin to admit it.

As a high school teacher of mine used to say, “things are not for what they are, but for what they are used for”. Bianchini's idea is that technology can be used to improve, create communities, and bring users closer, turning them into members: creating strong relationships globally. One of the things that I liked the most is that the author tells you to give value to what you know: you can start creating your own community from where you are. After all, to promote lasting human relationships, we can, we must, move away from the post and communicate in a more direct way, although this is certainly scarier.

I give “Purpose” five out of five stars: it takes a very interesting tour of the technological advances of recent years and the consequences they have had on human interactions; it tells us how we can improve them through technology and, in case you don't want to create your own community, you can use these tools to honestly be a better and happier person. This will inevitably have consequences in your immediate environment, so yes, “Purpose” fulfills its aim in one way or another.
