The Purpose of Your Life - Finding your place in the world using SYnchronicity, Intuition and Uncommon Sense.
Carol Adrienne

This is a well thought out book, and is quite different from the others recommended. The author helps you to see the purpose of your life as much more than 'what you do for a living'. This book will not help you to find a career choice, but it will certainly help you to see the greater picture. This is the book that helped me the most, as it focussed on values and purpose rather than 'what you would enjoy doing'.
