Product Description
Does the road to self-discovery really have to be so long and torturous? Not at all! Cut decades off the process and take a major shortcut on the road to clarifying your true purpose, says Dr Brad Swift: Just follow the six steps, or 'passages' that he outlines - and infuse purpose into every aspect of your life. Twenty years ago, Dr Brad Swift appeared successful from the outside, but inside, he was burned out, wracked with emotional pain, and ready to end it all - because he was living at odds with his true purpose. But then he turned his life around to follow his true life calling - and in the process, invented this six-step method to determining one's life purpose. He has since made a difference in the lives of hundreds of clients who've gone on to clarify their own purpose, and in many cases, teach this life-changing work. Have you clarified your life's purpose? Don't wait until your whole life has slipped by! This book can help you make a profound difference with your life.

LIfe on Purpose is an incredibly positve life change., 2008-08-11
I recommend this book to anyone who is curious about life. I already had a life purpose I felt confident and satisfied with before reading this book. I have a strong curiosity for life, and Steve Pavlina recommended it, so I gave it a read. I couldn't put it down ( except to do the exercises ).
I feel much more alive and on purpose after reading Swift's book. I feel much more confident sharing my purpose with others, and encouraging others to consciously pursue their own purpose, or the discovery of their purpose with this book.
I though th analogy with the cup and how water shape to the cup, is sensible and understandable way to explain your life's purpose. I don't want to give it all away. This book is phenomenal, and it would be silly not to read it.
Thanks Brad.

Life on Purpose, 2008-08-07
Walk into any bookstore and you'll find a dozen books that claim to have the keys to finding your life purpose. I've reviewed a good quantity of these types of books and the majority of them seem to have a ready made solution for you: the most common being service to God. Although inspirational, I find it really hard to believe that I could have the exact same life purpose as every other reader.
I believe that the biggest flaw in these resources is that the author's focus on doing rather than being. What will you do with your life to make your time here valuable? What have you achieved today, this year, or in your lifetime? The process is all a little external and designed to be sporadic.
Life on Purpose comes from a completely different angle. A life on purpose is more about who you want to be first and foremost. How do you want to feel each day? Who are you and how do you want to express these attributes? The doing comes later and is inherently shaped by your unique definition of being.

 The Purpose your Heart Cries For, 2008-04-11
Before I read LIFE ON PURPOSE I participated in several of Brad Swift's Teleconferences where he outlined the process in his book. What and how he shared touched me and I wanted to experience going through the passages he spoke of and discover what it might reveal for my life. I found the book filled with questions, big, small, simple, easy and quite a few challenging - by far almost all worthwhile answering. The text is peppered with wonderful quotes that range from profound to hilarious. It is easy reading and light of heart for a 'serious' book about a big topic.
For myself, I found Brad's 3rd passage, UNCOVERING WHAT'S BEEN SHAPING YOUR LIFE, the simplest and most direct approach to 'examining the past' I have ever come across. Brad takes the seemingly complicated issues that often unconsciously shape our lives -survival patterns, role models, socio-economics, religion, nationality, etc - and renders them understandable in a 'non-psychological' manner - without bypassing powerful emotions such as fear and vulnerability. His path of questions reveal the pattern of the "wall paper" that you have been staring at in your everyday life and perhaps never noticed. Then, this pattern is distilled into a concise description he terms your "Inherited Purpose" which is from then on contrasted with the evolving discovery of your "Life Purpose" throughout the rest of the book. This distillation proved extremely useful to me, as I explored the rest of the passages and as I continue on in my Life Purpose. Every time the "Inherited Purpose" infiltrates my thinking I can easily identify and dispel its deadening presence. Now, my Life Purpose is an evolving endeavor that has the very best of me at the forefront of my life. LIFE ON PURPOSE is not a silver bullet with fast answers but an excavation that frees one's intuition and liberates consciousness for the purpose your heart cries out for.

It was a significant part of the process, 2008-01-20
After retiring from the Federal Government in order to move from DC and pursue a teaching career I had all but given up. No one was interested in hiring this late 50's veteran who just wanted to teach. I heard Brad at church and bought his book Life on Purpose. I did all the exercises which reinvigorated my belief the I was to BE a teacher. Within another month I was offered a job as a co teacher of Exceptional Children, teaching two Language Arts and two Science classes in a middle school. Brad's book was a significant part of my commitment to being a teacher. Read the book, do the exercises it may just work for you too.

I interviewed Brad on my radio show and found both Brad and his book to be sincere and enthusiastic. This book provides easy-to-use steps to a life more filled with awareness and contentment. Lee Channing.
