Book Synopsis
In his most personal and provocative book yet, #1 bestselling author Tom Rath asks the one question that will change how you live the rest of your life: What's the point?For decades, Rath followed the script, achieving the traditional success society demanded. But a life-altering cancer diagnosis at age fifteen, which gave him a forty-year life expectancy, eventually led to a brutal realization: he was living someone else's definition of success and had forgotten to ask the most important question.In What's the Point?, Rath dismantles the polite lies and conventional wisdom that keep millions trapped in careers that feel meaningless. He reveals why "follow your passion" is terrible advice, how the search for happiness is a decoy, and why your childhood dreams are likely holding you back. The problem isn't that you're lazy or lack ambition; it's that you've been taught to ask the wrong questions.This isn't another book about finding your one true calling. It's a daily wake-up call and a practical guide to turning purpose into your daily superpower. Rath provides a powerful new framework for work and life, one centered not on what you do, but on who you help.Packed with counterintuitive insights and actionable challenges, What's the Point? is the essential book for anyone who refuses to keep sleepwalking through their career. It will challenge you to stop wasting your days on things that don't matter and start making the unique contribution only you can make.Dimensions (Overall): 9.0 Inches (H) x 6.0 Inches (W) x 1.0 Inches (D)
