O's Little Guide to Finding Your True Purpose

A rousing mix of prescriptive advice and personal stories of self-discovery from Marianne Williamson, Patti Smith, Elizabeth Gilbert, and others. From the beginning, O, The Oprah Magazine has been a catalyst for women hoping to discover who they're meant to be. O's Little Guide to Finding Your True Purpose continues this tradition by combining actionable advice and relatable true-life accounts of trial, error, and triumph. Each entry in this engaging and thoughtful volume guides readers in their quest to come into their own. Contributors include: Marianne Williamson, on growing wise while staying rooted in love; Martha Beck, on how to live your breakthroughs; Patti Smith, on how she found her calling; Elizabeth Gilbert, on the enlightening aspects of failure; Michael Cunningham, on the revelations to be found in small moments; and many more. Each month, O, The Oprah Magazine helps readers live their best lives, serving up information and inspiration on everything from lasting love to luscious food. With a signature blend of candor and humor, fresh advice and timeless wisdom, the magazine offers people the tools they need to, as Oprah Winfrey says, "become more of who they are"—to love themselves more deeply, to look hopefully toward the future, and to leap wholeheartedly into the adventure of being alive. "If there's anyone we should listen to when it comes to finding our true life purpose, it's Oprah. Even if you have the meaning of life all figured out (who does?!), you're sure to take away a few golden nuggets of Winfrey's wisdom from this book." — Glitter Guide
