The Question: Find Your True Purpose, reviewed

By @SimonCocking review of The Question: Find Your True Purpose by Bernardo Moya. Available from Amazon here.

Ask yourself the right questions—and find the answers to your happiness

The Question brings together the best of what is thought and known from the world of self-help. The author shows readers what can build a path toward greater well-being and believes that the quality of your life depends on the quality of the questions you ask yourself.

The book combines a mix of practical and emotional content; it follows the highs and lows of real-life experience to help inspire readers, giving them practical information to help them discover their true purpose in life, and the confidence to pursue it. The Question explores:

• Greatness, success, fulfilment, and passion
• The Three Pillars to succeed
• Building The Best You
• Resilience, Revolution and Re-invention

As fewer and fewer jobs are for life, (if any are anymore?) this book asks a lot of timely questions. It also evaluates how much wealth is a key component of happiness. The general agreement seems to be that enough money to not be starving, and to feed yourself and your children is necessary. To also have a roof over your head, and to be warm / cool enough, and to have the freedom to express your opinions too. No one country in the world is necessarily perfect either, though as always some rank higher than others depending on which criteria are the most important to you.

Moya is aware of these considerations, and factors them into the awareness he seeks to offer to the reader of the need for relativity and emotional intelligence to ask yourself the relevant questions that must first be addressed. He describes his own life experiences too, with several highs and lows along the way. Including the situation of having lots of money, but not lots of happiness or life/work satisfaction. Money can always seem important when you don’t have it, but if/once you do reach a point of seemingly financial security then you realise there is a lot more to life than doing things because they pay well. And actually that is often the worst reason to assess whether something is worth doing or not.

These are important concepts to be aware of, and prompt relevant questions to then be thinking about. Moya’s book is an enjoyable tour through these questions, with useful ideas and suggestions about how to reach the point of understanding what your true purpose is, and then figuring out a roadmap to get you to that point. You don’t need to read this book, but if you are not happy where you are now, then why wouldn’t you?
