This inspiring audiobook reminds listeners to embrace who they are and find peace where ever they are in life's journey. The narrator spoke with a calm and easy to listen to voice that made me feel relaxed and got the message through. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to listen to and review this book!
This was an interesting book to listen, but although the narrator was good I felt that some chapters were repetitive. Instead of proposing different topics, the author repeated the same concepts more than once.
Ms. Wong offers a refreshing take on a commonly discussed topic. Her personal stories liven up the narrative, bolstering her friendly, conversational tone as narrator. That said, doing away with "should"s, following your feelings/instincts, and the like aren't new. It's her delivery, perspective, and wording that make this book interesting and engaging, even while reviewing previously suggested techniques for living your best life.
A guide to help you to feel more intentional in your life choices - to feel happiness in your daily life. Wong is encouraging as well as motivational in prompting you to live your life with purpose. She promotes acceptance, self-awareness, and encourages you to accept your worthiness. Inspirational read.
“Living on Purpose” is a light read which focuses on the themes of self-discovery and self-improvement through a transformational journey. The audiobook is well narrated and articulated and helps reinforce the messages that the author is conveying through the transformational stories from her own life.
Having read / listened to similar content, I found the material to be more adequate for people who are well into their transformation journey, not for those who are only at the beginning of this exercise. While the audiobook has a lot of personal examples, I felt that it misses the structure required to undergo the exercises mentioned through the work for a beginner.
Special thanks to NetGalley, Greenleaf Audiobooks, BrainTrust Ink, and the editorial team for giving me the opportunity to review the ARC in audiobook format and to you, my reader, for taking the time to read this honest personal book review.

Written by a very excited and fulfilled personal coach regurgitating a whole lot of standard issue personal growth stuff that's geared towards upwardly mobile middle class white or white passing people. This would be very toxic for someone to read if there weren't able to quit a job to pursue a "passion" due to the normal circumstances/responsibilities. Could not enjoy this book even a little.
ARC from publisher via NetGalley, but the opinions are my own.
The book had me hooked at the beginning and lost me toward the middle. There is valuable information and inspiration I just felt the book is too long. I also feel that it neglects to acknowledge the place of privledge that is afforded to
Some and lacks any mention of trauma. “Choose that everything is working for you” in my opinion the “everything happens for a reason ” mentality is oversimplified and problematic. Some of this reminds me of the toxic positivity culture “be intolerant of feeling crappy”. Nope all emotions are necessary and valid. I think this may hold
Value for some, just not my cup of tea.
Solid 3.5 from me. I liked this and found several tidbits I can see myself implementing into my life. The author lays out the points, supplements with stories, and provides straightforward, actionable advice. She is incredibly relatable through the stories of her own life.
The author's reading was great!
Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the copy to listen and review.
