Driven x Purpose by Brandon M Egbert is a non-fiction book that describes the author’s journey filled with adversities and inner battles to discover his true purpose.

We are all trying to survive in these turbulent times. We are obsessed with money, careers, achievements, and other materialistic desires in our attempt to fill our void. But these things can never fill the void because of the purpose for which we are born. God decides our purpose before we are born. Our journey to discover purpose involves emptying the mind and embracing stillness while keeping relentless faith in God to guide us. Every adversity that the author went through in the book ultimately drove him towards his purpose. He went through several career changes, and his personal life also took a hit. The author says, “I don’t believe God makes bad things happen to us, but sometimes He allows them to get our attention when all else fails.”

According to the author, the basis of human existence is faith and love. He advises us to embrace ourselves, read a lot, be authentic, let go of limiting beliefs, seek help from genuine people, and embrace stillness. When we find the divine connection with God, we will move closer to our purpose.

There are several things I liked about the book. The book is an authentic portrayal of his journey and all the struggles he went through. His struggle was relatable for me, as often I have also wondered, among my suffering, if there must be a purpose behind it. His undeterred faith in God in everything is also admirable. I like that the book is short and can be finished in one day. The editing also seems good enough, with a few minor errors I found.

The book sometimes feels disorganized and repetitive, and the author also accepts this fact honestly in the book. I believe that was not a major problem, as the book itself is short.

I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The drawback I discussed is minor and does not require a deduction of any stars from the overall rating. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels lost in their own struggles and is looking to derive meaning and purpose from life.

Driven x Purpose offers a raw and honest account of one man's quest to find meaning in life. Egbert’s vulnerability is refreshing as he shares his struggles with career changes, personal challenges, and the constant search for purpose. His unwavering faith in a higher power is inspiring and provides a solid foundation for his journey.

The book's brevity is a strength, allowing for a focused exploration of the core themes. Egbert's writing style is accessible and relatable, making it easy to connect with his experiences. While some might find the repetitive nature of certain points slightly distracting, it doesn’t detract significantly from the overall impact of the book.

Purpose is a big word, and it's so unfortunate that people might not get to discover their purpose, I hope I find mine.
