Many people have helped us along the purpose path. Some have become stories in the text; for this, we offer our gratitude. We also wish to thank all the wise elders and spiritual teachers who have guided us in matters of purpose.
We wish to express heartfelt thanks for the energy and encouragement on this project by our purposeful editor, Neal Maillet, and the truly on-purpose team at Berrett-Koehler who support the movement toward a more enlightened world of meaning. They are an author’s dream team.
Viktor Frankl had a huge influence on our lives, careers, and writing, and he influenced our shared point of view on purpose. For this inspiration we are deeply grateful.
And finally, love and gratitude to our families: our spouses and our children. From these deep and abiding connections with our loved ones, we continue to learn about the true power and value of purposeful relationships.
