A motivational self-help book for discovering purpose and meaning in life is titled Purpose:
Design a Community & Change Your Life
by Gina Bianchini. The book, which has 14 chapters and is divided into three sections, advises readers on how to use their time, talents, energy,
and attention to define a goal and create a well-designed, self-sustaining digital community that is valuable enough to be paid for. The author researched the benefits of social communities, their positive aspects, and the steps that should be followed to create online communities for like-minded people who share similar objectives, interests, and necessities.
The scope of community design, missions, future aspirations, locating members, and the fundamental conditions to participate are also covered in great detail.
The book offers a lot of advantages. The book provides various templates and starter questions, as well as daily practice instructions. The suggested actions are adaptable and doable. Anecdotes from the author's experiences and those of famous people as well as regular business-people are sprinkled throughout the book. It is educational in that the growth of social media and digital platforms throughout history is covered. It is made apparent what distinguishes a social media platform from a digital community and what advantages a personalized digital network
has over a social media platform as a community. The glossary provides very helpful explanations of the contemporary terms and definitions used in the book.
The book is more authentic and credible because of the author's subject-matter expertise
and her experience in the digital age. I could not find anything wrong with the book. There is always room for development, but I wish the author had included suggestions for some
appropriate software and digital tools to use. A direct connection to her website is provided in the book, where readers can watch a 20-minute video for free and request personalized advice via email. The language is intriguing and keeps the reader interested thanks to competent editing. There is no justification for taking away a star, so I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars.
It is a book that can be applied practically, read again for inspiration, and used in other ways. I'd suggest it to anyone with an interest in digital networks who wants to build a digital community with a vision for the future to improve the world.
The book will be of great value to those who see the meaninglessness of a life without purpose.
