Book Synopsis

Achieve Profound Discernment and Joy

Many people from all walks of life, even after their many accomplishments and experiences, are often plagued by feelings of dissatisfaction and deep questioning. These feelings may lead them to wonder if the life they are living is the life they were meant to lead.

Living On Purpose is the guidebook these people have been waiting for. This book shows readers how to feel more connected to the people around them and how to be truly satisfied by the life they're leading. It will help them get past the pervasive feelings of lack and dissatisfaction by explaining how to fill the hole that can't be achieved by more money, more status, or the next big thing.

Written by transformational leadership expert Amy Wong, this book will help shift readers to a mindset of possibility and freedom. Seamlessly merging her personal and professional experience with aspects of social neuroscience, Amy brings intellectual rigor and profound insight to the map of five choices that will lead the reader solidly back to themselves.

Review Quotes

"Living On Purpose is the elixir to the kind of stagnation plaguing the world, and the everyday experience right now"

- Cyrus Rhodes, The Magic Pen 2022 Book of the Year

"If you think it's impossible to obtain deep insight and happiness in today's world, think again, or better yet, dive into Wong's thoroughly engrossing guide... You will never get bored reading this book. In fact, you will feel energized and motivated to make changes in your life that can lead to new possibilities and set you free." --- Readers' Favorites

"Practical and philosophical, Wong uses her platform well-and enthusiastically-to share the wisdom she has gained having coached a diverse array of people... Her prose is straightforward and welcoming, her tone that of a coach merged with a motivational speaker, making it clear that she's rooting for her audience while still exuding the professionalism and gravitas of a high-powered executive. General self-help readers will enjoy Wong's encouraging demeanor and her gentle prompting to live a life filled with purpose." --- Booklife by Publisher's Weekly

"The five methods are mental choices that include electing to "feel it out" and deciding to know "that it's always working out for you." They are fleshed out with insightful personal examples, sociological theories, research, and anecdotes from coaching clients' experiences. Wong elucidates her own core decision, too; the result is a vulnerable text that reveals how the process works at each stage, with Wong showing how she healed from her core belief that she was a burden, which was rooted in an experience when she was three years old, using the methods shared in the text." --- Foreword Clarion Reviews

"Living on Purpose has taken me by surprise. In a lifetime of exploring the terrain of the human heart and mind, I find Amy Wong's understanding and wisdom to be deeply refreshing. A case in point, Amy illuminates the nature of rejection and its impact throughout our lives in a wholly unique way. Making this discovery in the pages of her book will bring readers closer to themselves and help them to navigate the world with greater openness and freedom. Amy is an emerging teacher whose brilliant light you'll want to keep an eye on."
