This past summer, I had the opportunity to listen to O’s Little Book of Happiness which I really enjoyed. So I was excited to learn that there was more where that came from. Though listening to O’s Little Guide to Finding Your True Purpose, it appears I enjoy these doses of enlightenment with more of a light hearted edge or at least delivered in a way where it’s not so noticeably self help. In listening to this audiobook, it’s clear that this is for someone who really needs a push in the right direction.

There are plenty of inspiring and encouraging quotes and life stories told here and even a couple of interactive moments. For me, someone who is already doing, I didn’t find that this audiobook in particular did anything for me but I can totally see how it can and will be that rock for someone else.

If you’re feeling stuck, the words from this audiobook are what you want to hear. These words will help lift you up from the ground a bit. Give you clarity. Remind you of your goals and your intentions, remind you that you can make your own magic.

For those with a true desire to change, those truly ready to change, now is the time to press play on this audiobook as you begin to trust yourself again, be fearless like never before, and thrive in what you’re looking for – which is already inside of you.

There is always more for us to be, for us to do, as the voices on this audiobook remind us. It’s how we push through the everyday, that we push past rejection and failure, that we try that matters.

I’ve known my true purpose since the first day of first grade and in listening to this audiobook, I don’t think that if that weren’t the case I would suddenly know what my true purpose is. However, it would kick my butt in gear and give me the courage to be fearless in trying and staying true to the path that feels right for me. So if this sounds like where you’re at, this is the audiobook for you. A great listen at the beginning of the year. Enjoy.
