In his best-selling book \u003ci\u003eThe Purpose Driven(TM) Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?\u003c\/i\u003e, Rick Warren says, \"You must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.\"  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut as a non-believer, your purpose resides in yourself; it is yours alone to discover and develop. It's about choosing to live your own life for your own reasons. No one can dictate your purpose. You decide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will help you understand and appreciate why freely choosing to help and cooperate with others is the true path to finding purpose. Life does not need purpose: Purpose needs life.
