Tim Drake's concise book is an inspiration to anyone who would like to put meaning into their life. Mr Drake points us succinctly in the direction of the answers to some of life's big questions. His wisdom is an inspiration. I very much enjoyed his book.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant!, 27 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I am one of many that feel they have a potential to make more of a difference than they are currently, but are not sure where to put this energy.

This book is a gem at making you focus on your life and helping you find your purpose. More than a self-help book this really gets you going and has an appeal to anyone with this more-to-give inkling

Highly reconmmended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding the Golden Thread of Our Purpose, 12 Jul 2006
By I. G. Hacking (Valencia, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tim Drake was an outstanding marketing man before becoming an entrepreneur. He understands human needs & how to satisfy them. In his first book published in 1998 he created a practical handbook for personal survival & prosperity in the unpredictable world of work. In 2000 the stockmarket crash came, property prices collapsed & unemployment levels rocketed. How prescient!
In this new book he addresses the growing need (which he validates) that many people feel to seek fulfilment in life by making a difference. He brings focus to this general desire to help others. His concept of the Make a Difference Mindset, which is at the core of the book, "enables us to develop competence to ensure that difference making is a conscious skill that positively improves situations, relationships, lives & societies". The author has thus set a vast stage to play on but is always practical in his approach.
The crucial choice which Drake helps the reader evaluate & choose is each person's purpose for life--"finding the golden thread of purpose".
The author is very well read & offers theory & observation in a balanced way. He writes straightforwardly & simply in a stimulating & provoking manner. He will help change many lives.
