One of my favorite books on purpose is Man's Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl. The book is Frankl's psychiatirc observations of finding meaning in the most difficult of situations - the WW@ concentraion camps. It's an incredible story of how meaning and purpose can be understood even in the most difficult situations. For anyone struggling with finding life purpose I highly recommend this book as a great primar to your soul searching.
