Review of Purpose
[Following is a volunteer review of "Purpose" by Gina Bianchini.]
**Book Review: Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life---A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Your Purpose and Making It Matter by Gina Bianchini**
**Pros:**
*Written by a thought leader in the field of community building and technology, this comprehensive and practical guide to discovering your purpose and creating a community around it
* Offers helpful tips and techniques for leveraging technology to increase your effect and purpose
* Motivational and inspiring accounts of individuals who have used their purpose to change the world
**Cons:**
*Somewhat repetitive at times; focuses on creating online communities, which not everyone may find applicable; throughout the book, the author makes reference to his own business, Mighty Networks.
**Here is a more detailed review of some of the pros and cons of the book:**
**Pros:**
* Complete and practical guide: The topics covered in Bianchini's book range from how to determine your mission to how to create and run a thriving group. She offers detailed directions and useful resources so that readers may start acting right away.
Written by an influential person: In the fields of technology and community development, Bianchini is a pioneer. She has developed a number of successful businesses, including the platform for building and managing online communities known as Mighty Networks. Her knowledge and perceptions are clear throughout the book.
* Practical guidance on using technology: Bianchini offers readers advise on how to make the most of technology to further their goals and influence. She speaks on subjects like online fundraising, community building platforms, and social media marketing. Her counsel is current and applicable in the age of the internet.
Bianchini tells tales of individuals who have utilised their purpose to change the world.
* Inspiring and motivational stories. These motivational and inspirational tales demonstrate to readers what is possible when they fully live out their purpose.
**Cons:**
*Sometimes repetitive: The book occasionally becomes a little boring, especially the first several chapters. Bianchini often emphasises the value of having a purpose and belonging to a group. Even while this is significant, it would have been beneficial to see her offer more specific illustrations and case studies.
* Focuses on developing online communities: The majority of the book is devoted to creating online communities. Although this is a worthwhile subject, not everyone will find it applicable. Some readers might be more interested in creating offline or hybrid communities.
* Promotes the author's business by: Throughout the book, Bianchini advertises Mighty Networks, her own business. This is not surprising, although occasionally it can seem a little self-serving. Her offering more unbiased guidance on various community building platforms and tools would have been preferable.
* Generally speaking, 'Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life' is a fantastic resource for anyone trying to discover their purpose and change the world. It is well-written, educational, and motivating. The book does have some shortcomings, but they are greatly outweighed by the advantages.
*I recommend this book to anyone who:
* Is looking for their purpose in life
* Wants to build a community around their purpose
* Is interested in using technology to amplify their impact
* Is looking for inspiration and motivation to live a more meaningful life
