The 7 Questions to Find Your Purpose
In this groundbreaking book, Richard Jacobs explains that we each have our own individual purpose in life, but until we name it we can never really know what potential it can unleash in us. Finding our purpose is about finding a way of living that truly expresses our core values about life. Living to our purpose and sharing the best of ourselves is what brings us our greatest peace, happiness and fulfilment, but to find your purpose you have to ask yourself the right questions. Answering is easy… finding out what the right questions are is the tricky bit. 7 Questions to Find Your Purpose offers an effective means of discovering and defining your own life purpose. Through answering a series of seven unique and deeply revealing questions, you can distil a statement that encapsulates who you really are and what is most important to you. Once you’ve found it, this book will show you how to formulate ways to put your new-found purpose into action, as well as to develop motivational techniques to keep you on track for living a life that is entirely true to yourself. What’s more, the questions themselves – short, simple, easy and to the point – can be answered in one sitting.

Literature in our Lives
This book recreates in written form seventeen of the most popular, frankly personal and engaging lectures on literature given by the award-winning teacher Richard Jacobs, who has been working with students for over forty years. This is a book written for students, whether starting their studies or more experienced, and also for all lovers of literature. At its heart is the conviction that reading, thinking about, and writing or talking about literature involves us all personally: texts talk to us intimately and urgently, inviting us to talk back, intervening in and changing our lives. These lectures discuss, in an open but richly informed way, a wide range of texts that are regularly studied and enjoyed. They model what it means to be excited about reading and studying literature, and how the study of literature can be life-changing - perhaps even with the effect of changing the lives of readers of this eloquent and remarkable book.
