Richard Leider's second edition of The Power of Purpose, published in May 2010, is an essential read for anyone seeking to discover or clarify their life's purpose. In true introspective style, Richard gives us many thought-provoking questions to contemplate. I read the entire book, noting the questions that were resonating and challenging, and then went back, reflecting on the questions I had identified. The Power of Purpose is relevant for any age but this book served my own interest in purposeful aging, expanding and deepening the conversations we have with ourselves and with others as we live life on purpose. As Richard says, purpose is a gift, and this book is truly a gift to anyone seeking to find meaning in their work and in their lives.

理查德·莱德（Richard Leider）于2010年5月出版的第二版《目标的力量》（The Power of Purpose）是任何试图发现或阐明人生目标的人的必备读物。理查德以真正的内省风格给了我们许多发人深省的问题。我读了整本书，注意到了那些引起共鸣和具有挑战性的问题，然后又回到书中，思考了我发现的问题。目标的力量与任何年龄都相关，但这本书满足了我对有目的衰老的兴趣，扩展和深化了我们在有目的地生活时与自己和他人的对话。正如理查德所说，目标是一份礼物，这本书真正是送给任何想在工作和生活中找到意义的人的礼物。
